Alternate Reality

I see you, you see me.

My face lights up, as does yours.

I can’t believe you’re sitting right in front of me.

I run to you with wide open arms.

We embrace, and I don’t want to let go,

for I know this moment is too good to be true.

“I missed you,” you tell me happily.

I’m still in shock, how is it that you’re right here?

I sit next to you and link onto your arm.

I start to weep, but I don’t want you to see me crying.

Somehow, even in my dreams I know this can’t be reality.

I try to hide my tear-stained face because you seem to be

completely unaware that in my reality, you have passed on.

But I cherish the moment anyways because it feels that real.

I’d like to believe that my dreams are not only signs from you,

but in some way, an alternate reality where I can still meet you from time to time.

These, damn near real, dreams and experiences remind me that

our love for you transcends lifetimes.

Thank you for visiting me.
