Day Dreams
I felt a hand squeeze me tight
then I saw your eyes
they glistened in the summer sun
I remember the way you looked
the way you smiled
I was running to get away
I told myself, never again
would I feel
the water ran over my skin
softly, smoothly and silently
I held my breath for as long as I could
just as I felt I could not escape
I felt your hand pulling me free
I held on tight –afraid –you’d slip away
I felt the warmth of your skin
rubbing against mine
it warmed me and my soul shivered
then I woke up to the sound
of soft music
the only remains
of where you had been
was my pillow...
