D R E A M S   O F   Y O U ...

I have this recurring dream of you
You didn't die
They say you just went away
And now you're back
Time stands still
Is it you
Is it you
Please God let it be you
But now I'm waking and you're not here
I still think of you after all these years
Perhaps my dreams are real
Perhaps you visit me when I sleep
If that's the case
I hope to dream of you again tonight ...

Roniece Dawson-Bruce

This piece was written for my first love who was killed at the tender age of 17 - may he rest in piece.

Roniece,

This is a very sad poem. I've never lost a boyfriend to death, but I've lost my share of friends to death and I know how indredible of a void their loss left in my life. I'm sure he is very proud of you and loving this dedication you wrote for him. *hugs*

I have the same recurring dream, of my first love...smile..MY DAD.

Beautiful rendition here.

And hey, funny how life is, I used to be afraid to dream? Now I am afraid to wake up.

Enjoyed.

Our love for those we miss so deeply
are kept alive in our dreams.

I am touched by your heartfelt words.

Bit of a coincidence.  I just mentioned someone to a friend tonight, she wasn't my girlfriend, but truly a friend.  She died very young also and often I dream that she really didn't die. Maybe it's the moon.

So heartfelt and beautifully said. You memories keep him alive and your dreams make him real again. This is so beautiful. It touched me deeply. Well done.  

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