I woke this morning
to the nightmare being real.
You had been gone so long.
My heart was aching
and I had dreamt of you
night after night,
and you were gone.

But this morning
when I woke
the nightmare was alive.
You had been gone so long
and my heart had been aching,
so as I sat up in tears,
you wrapped me up and said,
“I’m never leaving you again my love.”
