When You Wake

All these moments
that seem so beautiful,
so unreal
that they bring a smile to your face

The language we’ve created,
the space shared between us,
the face that you touch so gently

What if you wake up
and find out that
this was just a dream?

You check to see the messages—
they’re not there

You look for the face—
it doesn’t exist

You search everywhere—
no traces remain

It’s 6am
You open your eyes—
I’m gone

You get ready
for another day

You exist
but do we?
