Love Poem: Should I Dream

Should I Dream

Were I to fall asleep this night
 rather than toss and turn restless in my efforts
 seeking rest and comfort in my sought escape;
what would I say to you, now gone
 emptied of my love and life as it slips away?

How often does the memory of days past, rise
 as if all were today in place of yesterday
 when it was always you and me against the world;
should I dream
 daring to recapture what was forever between us?

Yes, I would do it all again,
 casual conversations blooming to warm love's embrace
 and passionate vows and promises to last a lifetime;
hold me close and tender
 let me whisper in your ear, I love you still.

Forever and always
 I hold you close
 knowing words need not be spoken;
we are forever bound
 and should I dream, I dream of you.
