Come back...

I don't dream about you anymore.
Which makes me question how I felt before.

I know you're off with someone else.
Someone younger and less confident.

No promise was broken. You aren't betraying my trust.
I don't expect you to ignore your interest and lust.

My heart, however, remains within your grasp.
Even though, spiritually, our connection now lacks.

Where are you, my love, my light?
Come back and see me deep within the night.

Bring your gaze back to my eyes.
I'll disregard the folly of the brain between your thighs.

Together, you and I, it all makes sense.
All the bridges we can cross, but first it's the distance.

When will we feel the touch we share in our sleep?
Once again one, through hands, eyes, euphoric heat.

Your hands firm around my waist.
My fingers in your hair. In my mouth, your taste.

Our souls, as one, taking on the world ahead.
Together, correctly, as our dreams have said.
