Dream Date

By Mike George

when we first met 

we recognized each other 

instantly

spoke of our backstory

the one that hadn’t existed

until now 

neither of us were troubled

we ventured through 

the ever-changing landscape  

rooms we used to live within 

backyards we hadn’t seen 

since childhood

coffee shops that never existed

romantic evenings 

that lived only as an echo 

of someone else

songs of the waking world

entering dreamland 

through pinholes of starlight

in the counterfeit sky

you held my hand

told me of future plans

lifting my spirit

making me smile

sometimes

I remember you

in the morning

though only ever briefly
