I only see you in my dreams 
though I look for you 
always 
when I'm walking down the street 
and 
in every crowd 
I look out 
hoping to see your face 
(dreading actually seeing you, 
arms draped around another girl) 

When I see you in my dreams 
in a haze 
I awaken 
reach out 
to 
find my bed empty 
sleep consumes me 
though you've been gone 
for so long 
and I haven't yet 
moved on.
