There you are,
once more,
in my dreams.
We talk as though
we are starting anew.
We touch like not one
day has passed since
our last intimate embrace.  
With your word,
and your grasp,
you assure me that
we were meant for
each other, and that,
nothing will ever tear
us apart, again.  

When I awake,
I often sit and then wonder,
what is the meaning of this?
I fear it is my subconscious
speaking to me;
trying to show me
that I still think of you,
when I should not be.
I fear it is my heart
playing out the emotions
that I try to keep well hidden,
deep within.  
However, my thoughts seem
clearer to me than they
have in many, many months.
In actuality, this fantasy
has not crossed
my mind in quite some time.  

So, the real reason for these
dreams remains a mystery.
Perhaps, it is a vision sent
from God to show me
our reconciliation one day;
or maybe, it is a sign
of something else?
I do not know the answer, really.
But, I suppose that whatever
these dreams symbolize,
I will one day realize
what needs to be done
when I stumble upon
the bridge that needs
to be crossed.
