not the one's involving flying
or super strength
or even endless knowledge
no, instead
i dream of impossibilities like:
you holding me.
us sitting together
arms and legs touching
hands held between us.
gentle, warm hugs
face pressed into your shirt.
smelling your skin
fingers interlocked
your thumb grazing the bruises
swelling my hand
kissing my knuckles better.
you knowing where
each and every one
of my scars are
and loving them
because they're me.
sweet embraces
before blessed sleep
only to wake
still embraced.
seeing your eyes close up
knowing you're only looking
at mine.
groggy voices stating
"i love you"
because it's completely the truth.
your hand
resting on my waist
holding me close
protecting me from the world.
us.
