I had a dream where you kissed me

We were at an airport

You had just arrived

And we ran at each other with tears in our eyes

And laughter on our lips

And we hugged

Your arms snaking around my neck, my hands pressing you against me

And I asked if I could kiss you

And you said

Yes

When our lips connected

Electricity buzzed through me

And I pulled away laughing

I had a dream where you cuddled with me

We lay on the couch

Wrapped in a blanket

Watching some show

It was late at night and all the lights were off

You lay on my chest

Your head resting against mine

Your fingers drummed the same rhythm as my heartbeat

I kissed the top of your head

And you smiled and whispered those words

I had a dream where we were dating

We were in a restaurant

A nice one

You wore a beautiful dress and I a black suit

It was candlelit

Soft violin played in the distance

And we were laughing and talking as if we were the only ones in the room

Perhaps the waiters gave us dirty looks

But it didn't matter

I said something and you laughed

And I took a sip from my drink

All the while drinking in the sound

I had a dream where we were married

Dinner had come and gone

And now we were cleaning up

Or rather

I was cleaning up

My arms were covered in soap and warm water

As I placed a dish on the drainboard

You came up behind me

And wrapped your arms around me

Your head tucked against the crook of my shoulder

And I laughed and said

I love you

And you hummed and said

I love you too

I had a dream where we were happy

But it was only a dream
