Somewhere In My Dream Poem by Marea Johnson

Somewhere in my dream I thought I heard you call my name
I dreamt that we were lovers and that things were still the same.

I saw you on the avenue and tried to wave you down
You looked outside your window and you only made a frown.

I woke up late this morning and felt the same old pain
To know that I was dreaming and that things were still the same.

I didn't go to work today, I stayed at home in bed
To hide beneath my covers and to think of you instead.

And somewhere in my dream I thought I heard you call my name
I dreamt that we were lovers and that things were still the same.
