Sometimes you appear in a dream
and I know, that even though
it feels so very real
It’s a dream, And a dream is real
if only another kind of real
another kind of be-ing I can feel
For I can't remember a day since you moved on
Sometimes I see you in the corner of my eye
and I know why I don’t turn aside
because you may slip away and slide
and from my vision hide
so I let you stay in sight
but wish my eyes could see wide
and drink in your fantastic beauty
Sometimes I smell your scent
as if you are holding me from behind
your furry arms around my sides
wrapped in your warmth
in your body’s strong and tender care
I feel your beards hair touch my skin
and for a moment I am home once again
Sometimes in the silent night
I hear your voice
I hear you speak my name
No other voice can sound the same
Or echo in my heart so deep
No other voice can enter my sleep
I wish those nights would never end
Sometimes I find it hard to take a breath
I realise for an endless moment
in the empty void
the meaningless chore
of existing without you by my side
My throat chokes, my eyes flood
And yet somehow you make me smile.
