in my dreams

I’ve been dreaming about you

what can I say, you twinkle and dance around my thoughts like

nothing,

like everything.

My memories drip and burn with you

I feel you on my skin when I wake up

I spend my day consumed with trying to figure out

the snippets of unreality

all that I’m left with.

You’re in my heart

imprinted on my brain

inescapable in every way and

though this should torture me

I’m terrified of the day you start slipping from my mind.

Yet life goes on.

You, in my dreams,

on my skin

in my head

just close enough to touch

but……

and me,

always wanting more

and moving

forward…..
