vignettes of love

not a dream

not a dream

She watched him.

His eyes were closed.

When he opened them

he looked at her and smiled.

“Why do you do that?”

She asked.

He closed his eyes as he spoke,

“I pray to God

that when I open my eyes,

you will still be here.”

he opened his eyes

smiled

and kissed her.

“Then I know it’s

not a dream.”
