real

I only need to close my eyes 
and it comes to me like a thundering wave 
a crash of lightening 

you existed 

everything i held dear was here 
and it was constant 
and it was consistent 
it was
alive and thrumming 
like my beating heart 

and all it serves now 
is as a reminder 
that it was possible 
to lean on something 

and maybe that means 
something, too 
like how some things are not 
just a dream 

some things are so good 
you can’t believe they were ever real
