My Husband Jerry

My husband passed away at the age of 29 over 11 years ago. I still love him and miss him very much. This is about a dream I had of him
I woke last night with fear and dread
Someone was in the room
I tried to lay very still
To prevent my promised doom

I felt the tension in my body and mind
And fear within my heart
Then to my surprise you touched my arm
And whispered "honey I am home"

I felt release of tears and tension
My God it’s been so long
For dreams of you have gone away
Replaced by nights alone

You laid beside me I felt your warmth
Your kiss your tears with mine
Our bodies mingled pressed with heat
Our hearts and minds entwined

Then a buzz a song the alarm went off
I woke for real this time
Still feeling your body and lips on mine
It all had been a lie

A dream of heat and love with you
Passions in my head
Though hurtful and sad these moments true
My lover who’s long been dead.
