Love Poem: Still Dream

Still Dream

I slip into a dream and you are there. 
You are as I remember you. You invoke feelings of when you were mine.
I begin to perspire. I don’t know what to say. I know it’s a dream, I don’t want 
to touch you because as soon as I do, I know the dream will end. 
I just stand there looking at your beauty radiate. I’m a prisoner in my own dream.
You fill me with happiness and in the dream everything is fine, it’s just us in a vast 
field of green pasture endless in distance. I want to tell you so much. I want to run to 
you and hug you, but my body does not respond. I just stand there and do nothing. 

In the dream I love you. 
I awake and I hate you. Sobbing I shut my eyes.
Nothing lasts, not even love.
Life is easier in a dream.
