Beside You

"Funny it was me 

who let you down"

I awake

groveling, grasping

peacefully

at that dream

to spend a few more minutes with you

(who knows how many years it will be)

we were sitting in the sand

the surrounding world had disappeared

as it does

I try to make you smile with my words

you laugh

I feel the warmth in my heart

taking a picture

it was the last on the camera

I keep winding

until I reach the point where I believe I have lost it all

"We never met you and I
we were always inside
we were always inside one another
and I'll live without you love
but what good is one glove,
without the other?"
