i woke up this morning

with a dream tangled in my hair

remnants of r.e.m. fantasy

lingering around my shoulders

it felt so good

when i have those kinda dreams

i wake up feeling like i just spent some time

with him. my baby.

he hugged me

he cuddled up next to me

i rubbed his head. he likes that

and he told me how happy it makes him

to see me happy

we talked about his daughter

and his nephew.

both of which he never had the chance to meet.

talked about his brother

and his dad

and my life.

he didnt bring that night up.

he didnt.

i woke up like...

yeah, thank you lord

for letting me spend some time with him

in my dream.
