The Dream

We have been mountains apart

And time has split us further.

I have a feeling in my heart

And time keeps us apart.

I fell asleep.

I was tired.

I opened my eyes

And I was in a different world,

Not sleeping,

Not tired.

I saw you behind the counter,

You were not smiling.

Neither was I during the encounter.

All the while standing far back.

Has the love gone from me?

Like water that turns to vapor,

Or like an epiphany

Lost forever?

I want to say that I am truly happy to see you,

But I think that is not the truth.

There's something not real about it all.

It's like I'm dreaming.
