seated on the floor, we were
our legs stretched out, we sat opposite each other, with you 45 degrees to my right, your legs pointed towards me
space filled by our friends, people we hold dear
I know who they were, but I couldn't see their faces
I only see you
you were there, present
we acknowledge the temporal space
you were smiling, listening
as I shared about how surreal it was
you agreed
we were in the same space
we shared the same frequency
you comfort so effortlessly
it was perhaps a 5-minute rapid eye movement
before we part
I caressed your knees, perhaps your sheen
that was me reciprocating
that was me expressing gratitude
that was me, uninhibited
and I woke, knowing that you replied a text
I read it, confidently - one of those moments where it didn't miss
I continued to tell you about the dream - my hunch was trying to preserve it as much as I could,
and I decided to do that by sharing that with you
I actually wish that I could do it without shame
saying to you that I recognise your soul and I will remember you for a very long time
in the most direct, as is manner
it wasn't meant to be shared to reveal
it was my truth, and it is
and every time I see you, the nuances of your smile - together with mine
moves my heart, even when you don't see it
