I never believed this girl of my dreams loved me enough to return to me.
Tonight she came to me, still only in a dream.
Didn't last; this did not bleed color through tomorrow's black and white memory.

(for the girl in my dream) Isaiah 29:8

 "as when a hungry man dreams that he is eating, but he awakens, and his hunger remains; as when a thirsty man dreams that he is drinking, but he awakens faint, with his thirst unquenched..."
