I had a dream the other day

In the cool room, curtains swaying gently shadowing the light entering the dim room  
In the cool room, rested soundly, in a dream.   
  
The blue sky slowly faded to red, the last vestige of the day beckoned on the dusk  
The air was cooling as the sun sat and the moon rose  
  
A familar voice called out to me in the empty street but no matter where I looked I could not see them  
A voice called out sometimes happy, sometimes concerned and other times just casually

We walked along silently unable to see them or feel them   
We saw the autumn clouds dancing above us in the breeze

Countless times we watched the birds and played with sticks and stones  
Countless times we'd make believe through the dismal days  
  
Between us we shared secrets and sorrows  
Between us there was a bond we thought would last forever  
  
What little time we spent together shone brilliantly in my dim life  
What little hope you gave me burns ever more even now.  
  
However...

Those who are living must continue to live  
Those who are dead can only stay dead  
  
No matter how baddly I want to see you again I know it can never be  
No matter how hard it gets I will forge on

Thank you my friend
