In the whisper of a heartbeat, <br />he was there. <br />So real, unlike reality, <br />his memory deep within my soul. <br /> <br />(I won't ask him why he'd come. <br />I do not want to know) . <br />Reason, go away, be blind... <br />I meant to say. <br /> <br />He was just as tall, <br />his features fine. <br />Heaven had been good to him. <br />His eyes held a tear <br />and his arms reached out to me. <br /> <br />(Don't take away this moment, <br />Dear God, you've given me!) <br />Mind be still, don't say a word... <br />I meant to say. <br /> <br />Dance with me, dream lover, <br />waltz the love of echoes past. <br />Burn my flesh with lips of fire. <br />Hurry, hurry fast <br /> <br />(lest my mind, the devil's advocate, <br />prayed: ask him why he'd come) . <br />Don't wake me up and break the spell... <br />I meant to say. <br /> <br />At last my mind had found the words, <br />my lips were poised to speak. <br />The damned alarm. The demon's toy. <br />In a sound that broke my heart, <br />the dream was gone and so was he. <br /> <br />I love you and I miss you... <br />I meant to say.<br /><br />C.J.
