    Anguish

    I reach out to touch your cheek
    but only grasp the air where you once stood.
    I move to wrap my arm around you
    but catch myself as you pass right through.
    I dream we are together
    but wake to find you just a friend.
    Then I wake to you by my side
    and I am afraid to touch you and watch you disappear.
    I'm hoping this isn't just another foolish dream.
    Then you touch me and I feel warmth,
    warmth of the skin, not the mind
    The kind of warmth that let me know I wasn't dreaming.
    Everything ceses to matter to me
    you are here, with me, and that is all I could ask for.
