Sweet Dreams

When the sound of rain

hits my window at night

I know I’m home.

I know that I’m

safe when I hear

your voice on the

other end of the

phone.

My cold nights

don’t feel so lonely

with you here with

me.

My dreams have light

again slowly seeping

in through the cracks

of darkness.

I can see the scent

of flowers and love.

My bloodstream has

a steady flow of

happiness and

I stumble around as if

I’m intoxicated.

I feel like

I’m on a large cloud

and any way I turn

I cannot get off of it.

Do I really want to?

The despair I’ve

been feeling has vanished

with the touch of your hand.

I can finally have

sweet dreams

again.
