Some Nights, Some Time

Some nights,
I wake up from a dream
looking for you to be in bed with me.
Dreams so real, so very vivid
that it takes many moments
to convince myself that I’m here,
in the world we call reality
And that you are no where near.
My body yearns for you
Calls out your name
even as my heart tells me to keep distant
Sometimes
the best thing we can do,
the best gift available for giving
is the time and space to grow.
