A Peek Inside an Alternate Future




I dreamt that we were living together
yet living separate lives
And your family lived in the other room
And your family was my family
Someone left a baby propped upon the sofa
too young to be sitting the way she was
So I picked her up and admired her hair
And realized she was me
I opened the door to our room
And you were sleeping there
Under the covers you rolled
Revealed
And I wanted so badly to crawl into bed with you
and hold you from behind,
gently kiss the back of your neck and whisper
everything would be fine
But I knew you just wanted to sleep
And so I let you
