I dreamed that I called you,

and you answered the phone;

and

talked to me;

If only

I could remember all that you said to me,

I would hang onto every word,

every sound

in your voice.

It felt SO real!

When I woke ;

I called you,

but you didn't answer,

and the painful reality returned,

like an icy , unforgiving,

wind,

and now, I am here alone,

only longing for you

with each breath~
