Dream

when i dream i see your smiling face
i can hear your sweet laughter
my heart is filled with warmth
i know i am smiling in my sleep
by the time i awake
i can no longer remember your face or laugh
i start another day off knowing that i've lost you yet again
i've stopped living outside of work
when I'm home i just want to sleep
hoping that i'll dream of you again
i re-read all the letters you've sent me
searching for hope that
your love for me was equal to my love for you
if it were i should have found it by now
but i can't bring myself to let go
i miss you
i miss hearing about your day
how you describe things
even when you complained
we ended up laughing
i miss your laugh
i miss your light
