Linger

I dreamed of you last night.
We laughed as we walked through
a park. Our children played
near, calling for us to
watch them slide or swing high.

I dreamed of you last night.
Your hazel eyes followed
me. A smile touched your lips.
I could not resist them.
You tasted like honey wine.

I dreamed of you last night.
Our breaths mingled as our
bodies joined. You cried my
name and shuddered as did
I. Then you turned away.

I dreamed of you last night.
I wandered through a house
empty of your presence,
footsteps echoing, air
quiet and still. No one home.

I dreamed of you last night.
I pray I don't again.
