I Dreamt Of An Angel

The morning light breaks and my eyes open wide

I feel the warmth from your body as you lay by my side 

I watch as you sleep, so peaceful and serene

Resembling an angel or a similar being

Suddenly I am aware of a feeling deep within

As a powerful desire, starts to begin 

Hit with these feeling, so quick that in fact

I barely had time to even react

These feelings were strong so true and spontaneous

And the love that I felt was almost instantaneous 

A need for your presence comes from deep in my core

Uncontrollable emotions unlike ever before

A wanting for your touch burns inside me like fire

And a taste for your kiss full of love and desire 

But as I reach out to you for an intimate embrace

You’re gone in an instant without even a trace

The morning light breaks and my eyes are filled with tears

No longer feeling your body’s warmth after all of these years 

I wake from my dream empty to the core

As my longing for you, is now stronger than before

I know I am unable, to believe the real truth

How you were taken from me in the prime of loves youth 

My discovery of these emotions, and its powerful force

Were never given the chance to run its full course   

Today I will watch you sleeping, not by my side but in this place

Where a granite marker now sits with your name etched on its face 

You become now that angel you resembled while you slept

And that vision of you, my minds always kept

The loneliness I feel is immeasurable and deep

As I stand next to your plot and silently weep 

But I am thankful to have had you for the time you were here

And the time we were together I will always hold dear

Our moments will be treasured for the rest of my days

As I try to exist without you, in this painful lonely haze 

So sleep well my little angel, until it’s time for me too

And they will lay me to rest, right here next to you.
