In the night
in the dark
in my sleep
I can see you.
I can hear you.
I feel
like I could reach out and touch you.

In the hours
when consciousness escapes
and I feel furthest from stability
I think of you
and think
you might be thinking of me
and it makes it somewhat better.

In my sleep
in the dark
of the night
I smile
and though you can’t see it
I hope you feel it, too.
