When I Sleep Poem by Priscilla Monroy

When I Sleep you are there
Feeling of longing oh so clear
You are right in front of me
And I feel your love
Excitement I feel in every inch of my body
It was meant to be
How can something that feels so right
Not be
But you never come to me
You are just there
Then feelings of hurt, loss
Come over me
Suddenly I wake
With the knowledge deep
In my heart
That we will never be
So I tell myself you already know this
So stop and let go
Then you are there
And I feel your love
Excitement I feel in every inch of my body
But you never come to me
When I sleep…
