Seeing You Again

So many years had gone by

It didn’t feel like you’d missed any moments away

We talked

You encouraged me

And when it was time for goodbyes

Arms extended to embrace you in a hug

Grabbed nothing but missed air

An alarm sounded and you instantly vaporized,

Like a magician, you disappeared

And I awoke with tears in my eyes.

It felt so real

You looked and sounded so alive.

I was fooled once again-

It always happens when dusk turns to night

You’d think I’d learn by now

You won’t be here, come morning’s first light.
