The Long Lost Lover- A reverie
I was a boy. At an age well before any awareness of the passions and dreams of a man, and yet I would dream of a woman. A particular woman. She was mine.

But it was strong, it distracted me when I was awake and the discomfort it gave me sometimes caused me to wish it away. It has never left me.
She had a pale face set against a soft dark hair. Her voice sparkled like water, and echoed in my min long after she spoke. In her presence I felt the warmnt of her love. Only once have I seen hands as delicate as hers. Although I try not to, I know I still seek her
