Going Steady.

Last night,I heard my heart beat in time with another pounding heart.

Like a trapped bird against a steely cage.Waiting to fly away.

Breathing in the milk baby smell,so close to my sandpaper lips.

My thoughts couldn’t contain the words unspoken,

And  mind couldn’t hold back the gush of overbearing emotion.

I sat up,blanket draped over my shoulders.

I’d been dreaming,again.

Dreaming of the promise of a future.

Wishful thinking or blissful ignorance.

Last night,I met love and happiness on their shores again.
