I had a dream

Of you last night

I haven’t seen your face

In a very long time

It was the strangest thing

Before I woke

you turned to walk away

A feeling all too familiar

As I let out a sigh

I whispered to you, goodbye

And behind you

I saw a message

Written

on the concrete tunnel

It’s a shame

You were

a dream

Is what it read

In the morning

I thought to myself

Indeed

It is a shame
