while I sleep


The nights I sleep the best I dream of you
close to me
as you exhale, I breathe you in
and instantly our hearts become one
right as you are about to fall asleep
I murmur how much you mean to me
every so often you awaken and ask me what I said
I respond with a kiss upon your forehead
you reply with a smile that stops the hands of time
and then I wake up to the sound of my alarm
with no one in my arms
could this be a dream?
Or a nightmare?
