Without longing...

I closed my eyes
and opened my heart
and within that instant
we were no longer separate
your essence exploded
in my chest
through my veins
and pulsed in my ear
against my pillow
I heard Love
LOVE
only Love
without
you
or
I
attached

within that instant
we were no longer separate
there was no longing
no separation
not even a we

Until I awoke
I opened my eyes
and grasped for that Love
too distant now to recall
I was back
and so were you
but we were apart
each of us
a part
of a larger
dream
