Last night he found his way into my dreams; <br />His touch felt so real. <br />I almost couldn't stand just how beautiful he looked. <br />Just as I remembered, <br />With that smile that will live forever. <br /> <br />I woke, <br />And the moment slammed shut like a door. <br />I wish I could go back, <br />Breathe him in, <br />And never wake. <br /> <br />Did I dream because I miss you? <br />Or were you really there as I slept, <br />Telling me you miss me too? <br /> <br />I should be thankful for every day, <br />But dreaming is the only way i'll see you, <br />And it hurts my every cell. <br />Though I can live in hope <br />That you'll come and find me when my eyes are closed. <br />At least if i'm waiting to dream then i'm not waiting to die; <br /> <br />Just wishing I could sleep forever.<br /><br />Beckie Edwards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/but-at-least-i-can-dream/
