One word

by Emily Burns


 

Last night I dreamed

You said one word to me

And it expressed your heart so perfectly

You said it again.

That perfect word between two minds

Meant worlds and beyond.

The intensity of your gaze

Made me believe.

The word vanished when I woke

And I have never regretted more

The loss of one perfect word.
