Awake after that dream about you
Navigating the immediate emotions in the gloaming
Hurt at your absence
Realizing you're not really here
Uncertain of my tenuous footing
Your brief presence countering the reality
That you were so close
We knew each other's touch
Encountered instant revival
Now, the longing persists, refusing to dissipate
You didn't have to go .....

This dream was felt deeper than any others. Almost like she was within reach. When I awoke, the emotions stayed for hours. Not the usual rapid fadeout of dreams.
