But I saw
YOU
in my sleep, my dear.
Y O U
were ever-present in my dreams.
Y  O  U
smiled at me.
The smile I have missed so much.
Y   O   U
held me in your arms and kissed my face.
I told
Y     O     U
to keep me right there.
But as I slipped into consciousness,
I realized
Y      O      U
were never there.
