The dream that I wish was true


    I am home, it doesn’t seem like much, just a blank space. Yet she is with me so it must be home, for I am happy. The smile on her face fills me with a light I long for, and warms my inner soul. Her voice sings to me, every word and syllable carry’s a resonating note of joy. For the first time I can remember, I let the anger go, and embrace the things I love whole heartedly.
Yet the night ends, and I wake up… alone. I slowly reach out, vision blurred by tears knowing that I have let her go. I touch the pillow she used, the shirt she left behind, her sent on them still. I look at my room, and know that she was here, but she has gone.
The knock on the door gets my attention. I slowly look outside.
Its her!
My Love!
I open the door with a smile, and a laugh. I embrace her and pull her close, her scent fills me. Finally I am whole once more.
The alarm goes off, I wake, for real this time. The memory of her touch fades.
