To Laura

I dreamed of you the other night.

I dreamt we were friends.

You were there, and you were beautiful.

You hugged me.

I held you.

We kissed.

You told me that you loved me,

And I was happy.

I wanted to be with you

More then anything.

I wanted to hold you

And feel your body against mine.

I would give anything

If you would say

You loved me.

I would give anything

If you would tell me

We could be friends like we were

Before.

The fires burn, and the bridges with them.

I fear I've burned too many.

I fear I can never go back.

The gulfs are too wide,

I'm not strong enough.

Looking at the ashes,

I feel sad.

I miss you.
