"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night" -Edgar Allen Poe


Summer nights mean sunsets and box fans and thin blue sheets. 

 


We fell in love in the summer. 

 


As pretty pigments bloom, my dreams do too. 

 


I hear you calling my name in the abyss. 

 


When I’m awake I can’t remember your face. 

 


I know the color of your eyes,

 


I can picture your slicked back hair,

 


But how far down does your nose arch?

 


In unconsciousness I see it clear as day. 

 


It sits there waiting, like a bookmark to the greatest love story ever told. 

 


I wonder if you dream of me. 

 


As I toss and turn and yearn for a cool spot on my pillow,

 


I wonder if I’m awake in your dreams. 

 


Alive, the way you always made me feel. 

 


Will you ever come back to me? 

 


Were we nothing more than a chapter to you,

 


A footnote?

 


Am I just a supporting role in your thoughts?

 


If that is true,

 


Then I will sleep until I slip away into nothing,

 


For it is my only way to stay with you.
