I Dreamed That You Were Mine

In the fragile silence
Of the night,
I closed my eyes,
And you were there.

And I dreamed that
You were mine.

I dreamed that you were mine,
And the echoes of sadness
That clung to my skin
Was finally gone.

Erased with a kiss
From your soft lips,
And your hand
Caressing my cheek.

I saw you,
In the midnight hour
And I knew
I was destined
To fall apart.
Just so you could
Pick up my pieces
And love me,
Like I’ve never been loved
Before.

And in that quiet moment,
When all the world was dead
Asleep,
I fell in love with the words
You spoke to me in my ear.

The sadness in them.
The emotions that
Flowed in every sentence,
And the pain behind
Every phrase.

I saw myself in your poetry,
And then I gave you what was
Left of my heart.

Because you made my
Own poetry real.

You made mine,
Become ours.
