#5 of The Struggle

A dream of a man, a soul mate, a surreal dream.

What felt like forever happened in mere moments of comatose

  

The feel of his body against my own as we made our way in what seemed to be ethereal motions

  

His smile, his warmth, the beat of our harmonic hearts

  

His body of massive yet delicate proportions

  

The security he offered

  

The greatest moment that I can remember brings me to tears through the recollection of this miserable untruth

  

The moment of his struggle seen with another man though my eyes reflection

  

His eyes of worry but undeniable love

  

I could not see his entirety in the end

  

I woke with a deep sorrow knowing something I felt was surreal

  

The feelings of joy and wholeness were just a fabricated deceit to myself

  

I could not stop myself from shedding tears after the sudden realization of something that felt true was merely a dream

  

I had forgotten the dream and fallen asleep anew just to wake up yet again

  

To remember exactly what it was...what it wasn't...

  

I had a dream of someone that was truly happy with me and I with him

  

It was a dream... that such a thing was possible 

  

That we are not all doomed to walk alone

  

It was a dream about him

  

It was just a dream.
