I Dreamed A Dream

"I Dreamed a Dream"

I dreamed a dream of you again, soft in my arms

so warm you are to my touch, I can scarce believe.

You come and then go like a phantom in the night

a murmuring as a gentle breeze and then is gone.

I dreamed a dream of you again, soft in my arms

why must I awake to the reality of you not here?

You are long gone, and only the dream remains

if I could but sleep forever, you soft in my arms.

Heartbreak... I remember when I loved this one person so much almost to the point of insanity and I would dreams these dreams of horrible things happening to them. Like death and torture and I would lay in bed awake- sweating from thrashing around. And other times like this poem is about, I'd dream I was with them. Nothing special really, just being with them, talking to them, even dreams about us dating... Sometimes I wish I would never fall in love- but like a fool I've fallen in the trap over and over unintentionally. This is a great piece and is pretty touching to me. I like this very much :)

Dreams can seem so surreal, and the hardest part is waking up, just to find it really was a dream. If only we could return to that realm of time and stay for more than one night. Good to see you again, Dave. Thanks for sharing!
