A Dream for Your Presence

I had a dream

and you were there.

Best dream I ever had.

We just talked about how we felt

and how we dreamt

and you made me wonder

how I could ever leave

even if it only were,

for a continuation of my life.

And then,

The dream dissolved into smoke.

I woke to hear the sirens.

That dream I loved so much,

no longer held my attention.

Though I craved for the comfort

of your presence,

my main thought

was how to close my eyes again,

so that I might dream of anything.

As I woke and gathered my thoughts,

that dream of you became foremost in my mind.

Suddenly, I missed you more than ever before,

and the dream you wouldn't do for me as it had done before.

And I roamed the empty house,

and looked for an answer.

Where might I spend the next four years of my life?
