I sit here over coffee,
And I think about the past.
Of plans we made by telephone
I knew they could not last.

Of dreams which quickly vanished-
Like the sunlight dries the dew-
The gentle cadence of your voice...
I'm surely missing you.

But in my dreams you're smiling
And holding out your arms-
I take you to me gently-
And revel in your charms...

I hear you say, "I love you"-
And, My, how real it seems.
You'll always be my darling
As you live on in my dreams.

I guess if it is make-believe-
We should go all the way...
I somehow have the feeling...
that it's our wedding day-

I'll carry you so gently-
In the moonlight's silvery beams...
This night will last forever-
You are living in my dreams.

*sigh* Her love will live forever in your dreams, my friend, that is the magic of love. It never truly dies or goes away. This is so beautiful and filled with such tenderness. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

This is absolutely sad but it is also beautifully done. Ahh..to fall to this fate is not a fun ride. Dreams are wonderful, but sometimes we need more.

John, This is lovely, I enjoyed. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
