Nightly

 It must have been a dream, 

I saw you sitting there and laughing,

it seemed so very real 

the way we touched so heavenly. 

Somewhere in that moment 

we held each other tight, 

heart and soul interlocked 

replacing the wrong with a right. 

I didn't want to wake up 

to  see it all disappear,

so I held my eyes closed tightly

as if you were really here.

There was peace in the moment

though short the time we shared, 

I had a taste of happiness 

when the dream brought you here. 

Can't wait for the moment 

to close my eyes and sleep, 

just to once more see you 

in my nightly dreams.
