Just another dream

Last night I dreamed of you,
a dream so vivid, so deep.
My hands caressed your face,
my heart longed for a kiss to keep.

My chest burned in quiet pain,
a storm that gave no rest.
To see you was pure wonder,
yet left a weight on my breast.

When you smiled, the world would change,
as if the sun broke through.
A fleeting warmth, so gentle,
but gone too soon from view.

Today I face the truth,
your beauty vast as the sea,
a mirror that holds me captive,
yet leaves me longing, free.

I walk in silent steps,
my thoughts a hidden tide,
listening to your tender words,
while wounds I cannot hide.

But deep within I whisper,
a secret I can’t dismiss.
My lips still yearn for yours,
yet silence steals that bliss.
