Never

I have a recurring dream about you

It began just after we

Began whatever it is we were

It continues to this day

Popping up when I least expect it

In it you are able

To say what I always thought

Always feared

You would say if you could

“I will never love you

In the way that you love me

I will never give you

The things you want to take

I can never feel what you do

However much I want to”

The last line is inserted

By the hope that never died

The part of me that will always

Love you in its way

The part that thinks that “never”

Is something to be changed
