In a Dream

I had a dream

 

I was teasing you

at your most compassionate

of consideration,

as usual.

 

I should have stopped

and hugged you more often.

 

Why are you eating half?, you asked.

 

I woke up and hugged you this time,

whispering,

 

It’s because you’re not here

- oh my - my heart just dropped - (not stopped) - at that last line - when i recover - i might have more to say - but for now - my dropped heart and i - shall just inhale and exhale - in the sheer magnitude - of this absence.

[jinjahman]

lovely juxtaposition of messages here. Like the stepped bold/unbold to break it up

[Bubo]

Dreams........all sorts of messages we interpretate and how beautiful you write of something that is positive.......and appreciative!

. wow ... when they're not there ... they're not there ... it's horrid ... but this is absolutely brilliant ... sheer awesomeness ... "eating half" is pure genius ...
