As I laid my tired body
down in bed to fall asleep,
scattered images started to unfold
as special thoughts of you started to creep.

Oh, how I wished I were back
in your Life once again,
sharing those special moments
we had when you were my closest friend.

A smile came across my face
just thinking of those special times,
my thoughts were deep until the
phone rang it’s forgotten chime.

It was you that called and when
you spoke my pulse started to race,
you said our absence has been too long
meet me at our special place.

As I waited for your lovely
body to walk though my door,
I made a vow never to let you go
and always love you even more.

The door started to open as
your glistening smile entered through,
my heart skipped it’s beat
as you looked at me and said “I Love You”.

We raced with open arms to each other
as our love burst at the seams,
but before we could touch
the alarm rang, it was all a dream.

All alone I felt as a pillow
in my arms just laid,
disappointment entered the blood
as the vision of you started to fade.

For now, that is all
that I have to hold,
but at least I have my thoughts
and with that they never grow old.

As I laid my body down again
a smile entered my face,
wide awake I shall begin my day
and your memories will never be erased.
