Can I ever dream again ……. after being with you
The time we shared can ne'er surpass what I had, even perchance, could have imagined.
Dare I even take your hand and lead you to the top of the stairs, with intentions of laying with you in the bed where we slumbered, if only to kiss you one last time.
The love two people share is not measured in time but in feelings and those will last for eternity and beyond. The future may seem like an abyss … endless, frightening and unsure ……but with the light of love to pierce the darkness, everything is a certainty.
Love may at times appear to be a decision but it’s not………. It’s a gift to be given freely, never should one rue the commitment…… but embrace the opportunity.
As it goes ……… “time and tide wait for no one” and I am neither, nor do I wish that responsibility, for patience and understanding is a virtue of love to be held close and dear, to be revered and to be looked on as an offering.
So you see , no matter how this goes …..I am most certainly a better person for just being able to hold you ……… and when I laid with you I felt I approached Deity ……. If only for a brief moment…….. !
Now you are gone and I will lay with the pillow where your head once rested hoping to recapture if only but for brief instant a sweet dream ….. A memory per se but, yet still, a memory of a dear woman and her gentle lover, bordering on fantasy and reality.
Can I dream or dare I even close my eyes for fear of waking, that all I’ve experienced was just a sweet illusion….
Never to me imagined again.
