Dream

I reach for you in the night. The indentation of your body was all that is left. The bed is empty but I have the memories. Your joy couldn't be quenched by a promise. The table was set and the meal waited. My word was final as you packed. But the food was cold and empty. And the vows were too. I didn't believe you when you told me. Driving you to the airport and the dam breaking. Our song was playing but the music was silent. I searched with my strong song. But you had already changed the station. I loved you and in a clean way. And the moat that you dug was deep. The water protected and so did your pride. I swam with heart and the tide pulled but you watched. We came too soon.
