I dream of you
Of touching your face and finding shelter in your embrace
I dream of sharing my stories with you
Each line from a book you wrote before the stars had their names
I dream of listening to your whys and how comes
Of the paths you carved for me and the pitfalls I never saw
I dream of feeling your completeness in me, straight through to my finger tips
I wish I didn’t have to dream
I wish you would walk with and talk to me everyday
I wish your presence would surround me everyday
I wish your love would follow me everyday
But I know I’m not worthy
I know I’ve sunk through the miry clay, my fingers slipping through your hands
I know I’ve turned away too many times but
Can we try one more time?
