I saw you again, Briefly Before flitting away. Later I whistled a rambling tune While cooking dinner, In domestic apron tied, And passingly thought “Yup, Still…” Yet, somewhere deep inside my heart missed you. (for an eighth of a beat) Reminiscing of alternate realities: A-frame on the beach Shared flight bottles Cognac and what?
It doesn’t matter. Pieces mis-fit… Those lives we’d lived… Would live… Worlds apart (Never mind the part of you ever with me…)
The dream was real The real a dream— for fleeting (flown) Moments in another time & place We were matched, whole, complete, together…
Of course, unreal, virtually imagined?
I was happy living that night in time Your time In me Nearly forgotten? A rare tingle, Sensation, love, completeness Never to be forgotten.
You… Your remorse Regret Be gone
As I virtually compose our song A Dream
