i slept and i woke each day and night
looking for something beside this wide, lonely bed
i used to dream a man sleeping next to me
vividly, his face has a perfectly molded line
eyes that are as dark as the trees i love to see
i lost the grasp with that dream,
i wake into the reality there was only me
