In this dream we did not walk separate ways. I did not chase you with a heartache, nor did you deliver blows with your distant, unwelcoming eyes as you asked me to leave and move on.
This time, you came to my house for a visit; my favorite guest of all time.
We talked and talked for hours; this and that...
Your spirit was light and your body comfortably seated on the cushion, surrounded by the flower pots I watered daily.
My never ending stories and eagerness,
Your willingness to listen,
Our murmurs, passing the hours in the remaining sunlight, as we took hearty bites of banana-oat cookies and drank tea.
