Written by my husband around the time we got engaged back in early 2014…
You were talking again last night…
in your sleep y’know?
last night you were talking…
I open one eye and see you propped up
on your elbow looking at me
so I open my other eye and look back
at you
good grief..again?
you grin and shake your head
then look serious..
did you talk back to me?
did we…converse?
yes
we talked
I talked to you
well…tell me, what did we talk about
I don’t remember…
we talked about
love
that’s what we talked about…
love
you asked me if I
knew about it
you asked me if I
knew about love…and I said I did
I mean I do…then you said
you knew as well…
you said you knew about love
you really don’t remember?
No…my cheeks redden
you rest your hand on my chest and say
its okay honey…
you also said something else as you drifted back to sleep…
was it bad?
what did I say?
no it was not bad…
I remember clearly what you said…
you said
hold my hand when we walk that path
and I will hold
yours
