Adieu Ma Cherie, Mon Ange

She haunts the space between

My arms and my dreams

Watching over me in the still

Of my sleep

Through the haze of my dream

I saw her fair and aglow

Under the moonlight, in front of my window

My eyes halfway closed

In my heart I know her

Else she is familiar in a special place

Yet I have never seen her face

She lay next to me in sleep

I placed my arms around her to keep

Her warm since she was cold to the touch

With my embrace and a kiss

Warmth returned to her with bliss

Then she whispered and disappeared

If I only knew what she whispered

To the night air before her spirit dispersed

I awoke to hold my angel

Who in my dream was once here

Hugging so tightly

But world told me she was never there

I yearned to return to sleep

I wished her to be real and not a dream

What did this all mean?

Was there any meaning at all?

Thank you for this moment my angel

Even though I felt my heart fall

It will whisper to the wind

And your name it would know to call
