Dreams Keep You Alive Poem by Ray Hansell

I lie in bed and close my eyes
I see you here with me
Then I suddenly awake
But it's you I do not see

There goes my mind again
Playing tricks on me
I wonder why late at night
My dreams always haunt me

I lost you four ago
To this very day
The memories I have of you
Will live in me to stay

Not that that's a bad thing
As I loved you so very much
But it hurts for to see your face
And not get to feel your touch

Some nights when it's very quiet
Sometimes I think I hear your voice
I know that impossible
But, it still makes me rejoice

I still keep your picture
On the dresser with your ring
I look at your picture as tears fall
But yet I still feel like that King

You always said, you felt like a Queen
As we walked and I held your hand
I said to you, I'll be your King
Your every wish is my command

You would always smile
Then say, "I Love You"
I would look you in the eye
Then say, "I Love You" to

I don't have much to live for these days
As my body is getting tired and old
My last wish here on earth would be
One last time to have you to hold

But I know that is impossible
It's a dream that won't come true
But I know something that is for sure
Very shortly, I'll be joining you
