You Came To Me Last Night

I saw you last night and it was so real.  I had to hold my breathe and not blink.
Cautiously approaching so that I wouldn't ruin the moment, I got closer for a better look.  I knew it was you and just couldn't believe it.  I have missed you so badly and thought I would never have this chance.  It felt like a miracle.

I wanted time to stop right there so I could just stare at you.  One of those moments when everything freezes except yourself.  I needed to examine you from all angels.  I wanted to reach out and touch you.  I wanted to feel if this moment was real and never have it leave my sight.

So with trepidation, I knelt down in front of where you were sitting and called your name softly to see if you heard my voice.  I took your hands in mine and they felt warm.  I kissed them and smelled your familiar scent.  I placed my head gently on your lap and wept.

I felt you stroking my hair.  I swear it felt so real I almost fainted.

At that moment, I was completely hypnotized and could not move.  I did not want to move.

I never wanted to know anything other than what I felt was true.

"Did you see me, too?   Did you know it was exactly what I needed?"

Come back and see me tonight and every night, please!  You just don't know what this moment has meant to me.

Come back, I'll always be here.
