In A Dream

In a dream I saw your face,
so far and distant from me.
You took a step forward and I broke into a run,
closing the space between us.
You held me close for a minute that I never wanted to end,
and I pulled my head off your chest to look into your eyes.

In a dream I got lost through the windows to your soul,
my mind blissfully content.
The sweetest song is playing;
the beat of your heart, ticking away the time we have left: eternity.
Still immersed in the twinkling basins of your eyes,
you lean in, your heartbeat increasing its tempo.
Our gazes hold until the last moment,
when my eyes slowly close…

In a dream.
