When I Wake
A short poem about the light someone brings, and the morning that comes after.
sometimes i dream
of you and me,
of the dark i lived in
and the warmth you brought,
like someone leaving a light on
just for me,
of everything we were
and everything we couldn’t be.
and when i wake,
the morning light comes in,
but it isn’t yours,
and i find myself wondering
if you were ever really mine,
or if you were always
just a dream.
