A Dream

I woke up from a dream of you,

You lingered in my head.

I wondered if it meant something

And I was filled with dread.

But I will never know the truth,

For we are out of touch,

Though I still think of you often

And miss you very much.

You were the friend I loved too much,

But then had to let go,

And now you’re showing up again

In dreams that haunt me so.

I’m sure it’s just a restless thought

That rose up through my sleep,

But it left me a memory

That I now get to keep.
