The Essence Of Who I Am

I dreamt about you the other night

Like seeing an old friend at a coffee shop

We talked back and forth

Keeping the banter light

Lingering after we said goodbye

Because I knew that if I didn’t

I would say something I didn’t mean

Or that I did

I wish I could have gone back and did everything right

I wish you had the courage to kiss me that night

We were so young you’ve gotten taller

Though I noticed more than your height

Grew up together

I left you for another

It was a surprise to see you

Since it’s been so many years

That I wished I had kissed you under the moonlight

But it was just a dream

And I hope you have forgotten about me

I hope you never dream about me

With all my might

I hope that closure doesn’t keep you up all night

M.A.P
