I love him because
he mirrors back to me
what I need to see
to be better

in his way

that which I
grow uneasy about
spend sleeepless nights
tossing and turning about
because I don't want
to ever lose
so I lose it
praying that love is
from now til forever

in his way

I love him because
he understands how to
deal with me even when
he doesn't understand me
so as a result if he hurt me
he didn't do so intentionally
he just checked me

in his way

cause Lord knows I be
needing it

I dream in color
see faces of those I know
their voices recognizable
in the darkness of the unknown space
of time and reason that we are within
I know them and they me
we are as we are when I'm awake
but that is not what makes it
reality for me...

I dream in spurts
many linked scenario's
for days back to back then
just like that - nothing
but what I saw was yet to come
and when it does I knew
it would but couldn't say so
so not to sound crazy
bout how these dreams
be reality for me...

I dream in fear
of seeing the end
before the beginning
and being stuck in the middle
cornered by craziness
unable to change things
only to watch as things
change me

see...

I don't dream in the abstract
I dream what is to come
in your reality.
