The Dream
Louise Toohey
I was dreaming of you when I woke today
A pain that took my breath away
I felt the way you used to kiss
And lay there thinking how much I miss
You see my dream it goes like this,
I am on your lap and we kiss
but then you change and don't want me near
And suddenly I feel pain and fear
And so I ask you cautiously
"When did you stop loving me?"
I listen carefully with all my might
And you answer, "that very night"
I miss how it feels, your hand in mine
Is love for me so hard to find?
I miss your lips upon my own
Is your decision set in stone?
I miss your arms around me, strong
And wonder where it all went wrong
I miss your eyes their loving stare
I miss your salt and pepper hair
The way you felt, your touch, your skin
Your laughter always took me in
A look that made my heart just melt
A touch that made me knees give in
I still don't believe what you did that day
Sat me down and took your love away
And I don't understand how you made that choice
Without giving me a voice
So as I write I am well aware
that you may read this and not even care
But for a while, I'll hope and pray
That you'll come back to me some day
