I'm okay with this?

You were in my dream last night.
I'm not really sure whether to call it a dream or a nightmare,
but then, that's pretty much the basis of our entire relationship anyway.

I guess I'm just going to accept that it takes time to get over being hurt by someone you love
much more than when you're hurt by someone you loved.  notice the past tense.
I do love you and care about you and I guess that's why it bothers me so much
that things just feel so unfinal
and yet there's that huge final overtone to this whole thing.

It takes time to get over these things
so when you occasionally pop into my mind or even my dreams
I'm just going to accept it.  You were a huge part of my life
so it makes sense that parts of you remain with me from time to time.

Though I did notice, it was your face and your body and your voice
but it wasn't your touch and it wasn't your hug.
I know whose touch and hug it was...and maybe that's a good sign too.

So later on down the line, when you're around less and less
If I occasionally am reminded of something, good or bad
I'm not going to kick it out.  Maybe at some point it'll be all about the good
and I'll welcome the good memories with open arms.

Hope all is well.
