Waiting for me

I try not to think of you,
atleast while I'm awake.
It is then that I realize that I will never see you again.
In my dreams you come to me,
it's as though no time has passed.
I hold you.
I talk to you.
I smile at you.
I have you.
You look into my eyes with such sincere trust.
I remember when you used to look at me that way.
I remember the way you listened when I spoke.
Even though you couldn't understand my pain, you knew that I needed you.
In my dreams you give me a sense of peace.
I don't wake up sad anymore.
I don't wake up grief stricken that it was only a dream.
I wake up refreshed.
I know deep down that even though you are not there to comfort me physically in the waking world.
You are in a better place, waiting for me.
