Hunter Dasten - My Dream

The burden of reality, and conscious procedures
prevent me from fully recalling just how vivid your presence was
though, I can venture with enough forethought, to express it:
Your hair seemed to float in a dance of jubilation through the air,
as if animated by the most crystalline ocean of a world yet conceived.
And what myths my mind invents of your phosphorescent smile!
Together we laughed with such enthusiasm it rivaled youthful innocence
I would vanquish all ambition, all human longing still
to have never left that dream, your presence.

Such attachment, I have never felt and may such a dream never come again!
May nightmares populate my evening, and terror grip each awakening.
I am not strong enough, to wake up with your face in my minds eye.
I am not strong enough, to handle that, when you're nowhere in sight.
