I Caught Myself Dreaming... Poem by Brett White

I caught myself dreaming that sullen
Dream of days gone by:
Yesterdays so pale and sharp that
They seem to fly.
Her face, her hair, her Spirit,
I cannot help but recall;
And like the dusty Battle of
Troy, sometimes we fall.

I caught myself dreaming, that
Sullen dream that I had lost;
Totally enraptured, I would have
Paid any cost:
To touch her again,
To erase all the pain.
Her walk, her laugh, I cannot help but recall.
Along with the dew-kissed
Grass in the Fall.

And fools say, "All good things must end."
Maybe so, but why'd I have to lose
My closest friend?
To see her again:
To kill the pain.

And alas, like two birds outgrown-
And when it must be, "To each his own."
I awaken all alone.
But my memories of us, hold
Me tight-
And my Faith in God leads
Me to Light;
And when all Hope is lost,
Just know:
I'd have paid any cost
