It has been years
And last night I dreamed of you.

Not the you I knew then,
When we were young
Foolishly hiding away each chance
That was or was not there
To explore the reality of intimacy
In our own selfish ways
While we ran from the truths
That we were just young
Just wanting to be whole

No, not that you
But an older one
Wiser,
for all you did was hug me
Ask me how I’d been
Without the hesitant pause
Of do I dare?
And smiled

Perhaps it means
I have let that childhood love go
Knowing we have both grown older
Have lived separate lives

Yet…
I still remember the flush of your cheek
And short breathed sighs

The hug was enough
To let me know I still cared

"I have let that childhood love go
Knowing we have both grown older

Yet

...I still remember the flush of your cheek
And short breathed sighs"

Perfect!  A memory that everyone should retain of some One special....

I've come to this place, after passion and intensity...sometimes a hug, does speak well of who we have become.  It's a little too early for me to really delve into this one, I will save it for later.  There is much about it that touched me.

I love the way you turned this hug around at the end.  Much enjoyed!

I know this
you've put into words  what I couldn't.
and from a female point of view, it feels the same when the dream is of a man...
I'm keeping this
