In Our Dreams

for Anya

There are so many places I wanted to be with you,
So many mountains to climb and lakes to swim in,
So many oceans I wanted to cross with you,
So many foreign nations visit,
So many cities explore.

So many books to read to you,
So many nights just cook for you.
You turned every mundane moment
Into a rapsody of life for me.

There were so many little things I still wanted to tell you,
My heart now bursting,
So many times I wanted to see you hear me say "I love you".
I know I touched your skin what might seem for an eternity —
But not enough — even my face on your skin wandering along,
Forgetting the world, met its soulmate, you, it seems, just yesterday.

And now just emptiness

I hope you and I will meet in our dreams one last time
And die in each other's arms in an eternal loving embrace
To never wake up to any new reality
Tonight
Tonight, let's make tonight last us forever.
