Ephemeral Dream

The day you walked in

you gave me great joy;

to keep me company.

Like an ephermeral dream

And when that time comes,

I wish I may stay asleep

to keep you there.

But in reality,

I like how this poem is written and how it flows very well with what is being said!! The fact of someone walking into your life, and also knowing that they might walk out of your life someday makes me know how grateful I am to have such wonderful friends and family in my life, and that someday when they walk out, it would be painful, and that the memory of them, we'd want to hold onto for the rest of our lives, even though they wouldn't be there any longer when they go away.
