You were in my dream again
and in the morning when I woke
I felt a loss unknown to me
as inside my sheltered heart broke.
–
Your presence lingered longer
even as my slumber faded.
As I realized you were not here
my distant heart grew jaded.
–
I knew without a doubt
I would not see you again
as you were gone forever
there is no if and when.
