real as a dream

I can see you standing beside me
talking to me
looking at me
I can feel you touching me
skin to skin.

There, on the driveway,
dropping me off outside the door
lingering for goodnight.
Our lips join in fireworks
the pattern rehearsed.

My mind plays games with me,
this dreamworld.

You know as well as I
we never saw each other again
and likely never will.
