The Dream

I woke today with a tearful smile
For you were on my mind
I had dreamt that I stood with you
Your words were soft and kind

We spoke of love, we spoke of life
We shared our deepest dreams
We held each other close and tight
So real, or so it seemed

We walked along a sunlit beach
Two lovers hand in hand
With words and tears of tenderness
Our bare feet caked with sand

But then a cruel and senseless joke
Revealed a thing so mean
I wasn’t really there with you
It all was just a dream
