Never…

Again  
I’d rather dream of you  
As I fight sleep  
Than rest and wake  
knowing you’re forever gone.  
   
Wakeful in this midnight hour I remember  
The dream that was reality  
Yes, those relived the most, my favorite dreams,  
still wash ashore  
They have scraped deep paths of memory in my brain.  
So now,  
For this microsecond moment  
I am yours and you are mine  
In my mind  
I am happy  
You’re at peace.  
   
The memory passes  
I arouse  
from this waking dream  
to resign myself to sleep  
in the reality that you  
Exist not  
In my sphere  
And never will  
   
Heartbroken  
I cry “goodnight”
