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
