The Dream

I kept having the same dream

Over and over

I came into a crowded party

And saw you across the room

I wanted to talk with you

Feel your arms around me

Kiss you –

Anything

But no matter how much I pushed

No matter how hard I tried

I could never quite get to you

And I’d wake up desolate

Feeling an ache in my heart

Missing you

It was the saddest feeling I’d ever had

Not being able to reach you in this world either.
