i saw you in my night-time visions
again

my stranger
my love

i can close my eyes
and smell your skin
run my fingers through your hair
whisper sweet nothings upon the back of your neck

you hold me tight
your hands like mighty weapons against the forces
trying

trying to keep us apart

i know you will never let me go
not even when i wake from our embrace
not even when the tears wash away your warmth
no ~ not even when the roses lay wilting
neglected in this life

you are my angel
carry me away
to a place where i never have to wake

carry me home
and let's begin anew
this devotion written in our

dreams
