Waking Up From You.

When I slept,
I would dream
of you.

Not typical
girl fantasies.

Just boring,
normal,
dreams of you
being mine.

Of you,
holding my hand.
Asking me
if we need groceries.

Never anything special.
Making it feel so real.

It would take
six seconds
after waking up
to realize it was a dream

I went to bed each night
not looking forward to those dreams
but to those six seconds
where I didn't know
that you were gone.

I would go to sleep
not wanting to wake up
from you.
