a dream

A dream

I hold your picture close to me.
It is all I have of you.
You are so far away.
Yet you feel so close.
You have touched me inside.
Yet I have yet to touch your skin.
What is it like?
I often wonder how you would be here with me.
What does your perfume smell like?
Is your skin soft to my touch?
I can only wonder what I would see in your eyes.
Could I see your soul?
So far away.
Yet so near to my heart.
I close my eyes hoping.
Hoping when I open them.
That there you will be.
Right in front of me.
No more dreaming.
No more wondering.
Just you in front of me.
Could it be true?
At last you are here.
You skin is so very soft.
Your smell so very sweet.
Your eyes so very loving.
A dream….
A dream….
Is all I truly have of you.
