In my dream,
there was a cave
Where ten
thousand people lived
Men, women,
old and young
(And all in
between)
They had
different faces,
They all had
the same name (yours)
For 13
years, 10 months
And some
eternity
I went
there, every single night
Wanting to
meet each one of them
To hear them
say their names
The same
name, over and over
And over,
again
I searched
their faces
For the
squint in your eyes
For the
blush on your cheeks
For the cute
clefted chin held high
For the
silly grin, or the pout that says
Your mad
I touched
their hands, hoping
To find the
grip, promised to have held
through the
rough, uneven grounds
the tough
rules,
fast and
constantly changing,
the madness!
For 13
years, 10 months
And most of
a lifetime,
I fail
To find you,
or any of you,
In the ten thousand
people I visited
Every night…
And then,
from nowhere,
You were
there!
Right in
front of me,
Finding me,
looking at me…
With your
best suit on,
and a smile!
But long
before I could summon the words
To speak, to
ask…
Finally!
To tell you
how happy I was…
You came
close and whispered
“the dream
ends tonight”
.
.
.
.
In my dream,
there was a cave
Where ten
thousand people lived
Men, women,
old and young
(And all in
between)
They had different faces,
They had different faces,
They had
different names…
