In my dream,
just after you passed on to another realm,
God summoned you to my side
You did not allow me to say goodbye
Or give me a chance to say ‘I love you’
You ended it
As you had started it
And how it had always been
I will never see you again
or hear your voice
But in the Garden of Grief
I got you all to myself
and even though God could not make you
tell me you loved me
He made sure I got to say goodbye
and we talked about the past
and times that made us laugh
and we walked together one last time.
