I dreamt of you last night 

Where we were more than just lovers,

We were friends seeking a togetherness
That would spin a tale for the ages.

Our love-making was restricted to
Vigorous hand-holding and smiles, 

Debate and songs shared. 

Romantic films could never do justice 

to the time we spent whispering love and

healing touch, melting into one another

No lovers’ quarrels, no love lost.

Bound by a silk thread built for time.
