Dreaming of You

individual_68

Some nights I long for sleep. Await it as an old friend. Comforting. Familiar. Others I stave it off. Battle against it until the inevitable end. It delivers its crushing blow. And I am swept up in its bitter sweet embrace.

Sleep is deep now. Consuming. Wake more tired. Sleep is not relaxing. Though it is peaceful. Oddly invigorating. All since I met you.

I do not have nightmares. At least not the those that scare man and child alike. I dream not of monsters. Ghouls. Evil.

I dream of you. Your humble perfection. Brilliant smile. The luminous sound of laughter.

I dread and long for these nightly visitations. The bookends to my day. Give me strength. Structure. Seem to hold me together. Yet tear my mind apart. I feel them clawing at my heart. Seeping through my psyche as I walk beside you. They haunt my waking. Fear you will read them in my eyes.

The soft touch of your skin. The taste of your lips. Whisper of your hair upon my cheek. Desire the reality more with each heart beat. Hold it more closely with each breath drawn.

Long to touch. Taste. Make this real. Make the non-corporeal substantial. Solid.

To hold you in my arms. Whisper the words I find I my heart. Words I did not know could reside there. Those words which are only spoken in my dreams. Softly. Silently. Scream within my mind. You will hear them. When I dream of you.
