She welcomed it, sunlight filtering through the mist, silently making
an entrance as it whispered against her bedroom window whilst she
lay half-awake, half-asleep exiting a dream she lay fitfully dreaming.
It had been a long night of drearily weeping…
I remember counting her tears tasting their salty wetness as I lightly
kissed her cheeks. She forced a faint whisper of a smile occasionally
even though she was overcome with her emotions…
I could see it within her eyes… Feel it in every breath of air she took.
Had I dreamt of her before, the haunting which awakens me as I lay
alone within the dark dreaming…
–She beckons me with every undulating movement as I gaze upon
her quivering lips, her wandering eyes, the tears which had left their
trace upon her cheeks, and the warmth felt within her softened touch…
If only she were more than a mere illusion, an image I had conjured
a thought which had left me spellbound as I lie alone imagining she
was more than less than nothing.
