I've dreamt of you on several occasions and wake up feeling guilty.
You see, you have this bad habit of haunting me in my dreams.
It's not that you do anything abnormal or crazy - you just are yourself.
And that still has a way of turning me into a mushmouthed man.
Sometimes the space between us in my dream is almost insignificant.
Did you move closer to me?
Did I walk closer to you?
My dreams have changed.
In my former dreams, we shared a house, a dog and a huge bed that served us well.
We laughed, we cried, we talked, we walked, we played, we slept and we were everything we could be.
I've kissed you before, but only in my dreams.
I haven't done that since I've been married.
So I am not sure why this feeling of guilt arrises within me when I dream of you at night.
I awake startled and slightly confused.
I wonder why you haunt me so.
And then I reach out and carress my wife's back or hip or shoulder and realize that everything is as it should be in this world...
