Two Years

You came again to me last night
It’s been too long
What message have you to give
I don’t want to get it wrong
In the room there were three
Other than you
One of them was me
The two they were a blur
But you I could see
The face so familiar
The voice so strong
You told me you had to go
But it won’t be long
You may come back
I cried out in protest
And then everything turned black
I woke up crying
The memory still fresh
My eyes opened to the sounds of morning
In my mind two words stuck
“Two years”
With any luck
As I wiped away my tears
I’ll decipher what it means
The message you bring me
In my dreams.
