love dream for Gary

FOR GARY



this morning I awake from a dream

of you touching my face so gently

with your fingertips

whispering of your love

for me-

Beautiful love

But...

it is only a dream

the memories of you have faded

the smell of your skin

the exact color of your eyes

the curve of your back

I can no longer recall.

I'm left with only

my beautifully lonely dreams.

Today would be Gary's 59th birthday.  I miss him still.
