Pipe Dream Date Written 12/11/2007 Poem by Clare McWilliams

For Seamus
I dream of fun nights out and days of laughter.
I dream of long cosy nights in front of the fire.
I dream of help carrying the shopping home.
I dream of an unexpected kiss on the back of my neck when I am cooking.
I dream of wanting to come home early from a party.
I dream of comfortable silences while I write.
I dream of waking in the night to say 'Move over'.
I dream of someone I adore to adore me.
I wake and I realise I have done these things with you already.
Are you the piper of my dreams?
