I dreamt of you today my dear.
I dreamt of us - sitting together, next to each other, looking at the world go by.
We weren't looking at each other but I knew exactly the minute details that defined your face.
I knew that I didn't have to look at you to see you.
I dreamt of a moment of clarity when you put your hand around my shoulder - touching me the way no man has..
Giving me the chance to rest my head on your shoulder without feeling weak.
A moment of respite from trying to be strong always.
I dreamt that I cared ; that you made me feel secure enough to care without the concern of getting hurt.
Or maybe if I did get hurt, this moment with you would be worth all the pain?
I heard a thud. And in the fuzzy boundary between sleep and conscious, I searched for you by my side.
I could feel you, but you were fading away.
I woke up and you were not real.
