Dreams

You walked in my dreams and I woke up missing you.  A familiar ache that I've placed down deep for many years.  

Such sweet sadness out of the joy your visit brought to my night. 

Even amongst the suspended reality of this parallel world, we usually obey conventions. 

But tonight we let all veils fall away. 

You whispered sweet nothings in my ear causing chills to travel down my back.  

A deep ache bloomed within me and I longed for your touch. 

Light and feathery.  A touch that wasn't a touch, a kiss that wasn't a kiss.  My body responding to the mere thought of you.  Waves of ecstasy crashing over me and yet somehow not truly felt.  Remembrance and want rolled into one.  

A pale imitation of what i truly desired.  And yet it was enough because it was you.
