i dreamt of you because lately i let you be
that dream
buoyed moments afloat that never sink to
become stained
in water
but half way through
the sweetness of your face at the bay
when we peeled oranges and let the peels
fall away from our hearts
i remembered
banging
my head
against your driveway
that new years
when we both
wanted to die
and how i dream of you because i need
a dream to dream
and you will always be
buoyed moments
unattached to the rising tidal wave
coming for me
