you're dreaming

you know when you dream
everything seems so real
and when you wake
it's like
you're dreaming

that's what it felt like
when your hand touched mine
when your warmth held my icy fingers
my heart whispered
"this is right"

you said my name
you told me stories
you laughed
oh how i missed my daddy's
laugh

we talked
till the sun set
and we walked
in the moonlight
fingers intertwined
protected from the world
your eyes reflected the light
of the stars
as they twinkled above us

you kissed me on the cheek
and whispered
"i have to go"
so we held on tight
and i took one last breath
memorizing your scent
and remembering your voice

i woke
tears clung to my dazed eyes
i could still feel your gaze
i cried

this doesn't feel right
