I saw you in my dream

curled in the petals of a rose

Morning gleam

and everything goes

 

But real, so real

that even when I woke up, I could still feel

you in my chest


I tried to remember:

each of your shapes, each of your shades

Here you are, faceless feeling


My love I bled.

I sank in the reddest flower

Because I didn't know you yet

I dreamt I had fallen in love, but when I woke up I didn't remember what they looked like.
