Dreaming

I dreamed of you last night.
I didn’t plan to. I wasn’t thinking of you
As I drifted off. But I dreamed of you just the same.
I dreamed we were together in some unnatural world—
Doesn’t that just fit? We were never together in a natural world
Even when we were together. I think I just miss what you represent.
I miss comfort. I miss the power you had to make me feel beautiful.
The power to make me feel as though I were perfect even when I was so not.
Now I just seem to exist.
I seem to feel only nothing.
