Analysis of Dream

Ruby Duran 1985 (Florida)



I run my fingers across your chest
Over that T-shirt that I love
"It brings out the color of your eyes"
I say to you
Your body trembles and you sigh
For some strange reason the sun seems to be shining brightly on you
Your image fades and I reach out to the empty space
I open my eyes
And tears roll down my face
It was just a dream
A memory living only in my mind
Only in my heart
