When I Visit You

When I visit you in my mind
Telling tales from our left behind
Visions into a peace unfound
Missing this girl I’ve never known

Memories shared with swollen heart
Finding some joy where there was none
Seeing every nuance of you
Cherished the life that we once knew

Eyes wide shut afraid to open
Should you decide to disappear
Precious gifts your words unspoken
Not quite a dream this heart I lend

In light of day we say goodbye
Holding me close I will not cry
Beautiful child tonight I’ll see
You once more in my sweetest dreams
