And yet in my dreams, you are still here

And yet in my dreams, you are still here.

My heart is so heavy, but I can still feel you.

Oh what I’d give for one more minute of your time.

We wouldn’t speak, but I’d hold your face in my hands

And let my forehead press against yours.

Up in the sky, above the pain, we’d fly until… until…

You see, I don’t know.

I have no end to that sentence.

These few words I’ve strung together are just to try and convey

How the mention of your name silences me.

A snippet of your voice shakes my soul.

Your voice, my friend.

Oh, what I’d give to hear it again.

My friend.

I understand what it means to be half of a whole.

Were we meant to exist apart?

A quiet veil separating us until I too give up the ghost.

I have no fear of the other side, my friend.

I’ll be in good company once my number is called

And I too lay down for the long sleep.

Did I ever tell you? Did I share the secret I held inside?

The secret of an eight year old boy

Softly crying in his bed,

Asking God to take some of the years of his life

And give them to you.

I know in my heart that we were meant to find each other.

In the life before this, we made a pact

No matter what happened

No matter how long the journey

We’d find each other and be reunited.

I know in my heart that we will find each other

In the life after this

No matter what happens

No matter how long the journey

We will find each other and be reunited once again.
