You were there,
standing next to me,
so close, yet no contact.
I remember the comfort
in the tones of your voice,
the caring in the way you walked,
shielding me from the elements.
I remember your careless hair,
the tall length of your body,
the breadth of your shoulders.
I knew I wanted you,
and knew you wanted me.
In that dream we were together.
It was the beginning of us,
The first moments of a relationship
confined to a dream.
I search for you each day,
wondering where you are,
hoping you are close.
