You stand before me
The vision of my angel
Light reflects off of you
Surreal in the pre-dawn shadows
Your eyes are the first thing I notice
As I do every time I see you
Next your crooked smile
Is it real this time?
As I gaze at your form
I marvel at the view
Of my longtime friend
Finally within reach
Yet not close enough
I stretch out my hand to touch you
You vanish and I remember
As I startle out of sleep
You aren't here
Only in my head are you with me
I wish I was still dreaming
