i dreamed of you

I had a dream about you last night. It was the kind of dream where you are convinced it is real for hours until something in reality brings everything into focus. You called me and said, "Good morning, baby. I love you." And you didn't realize that you said it, it just came out of your mouth. I didn't want to mention it, because I was afraid you would take it back. And then we talked about something else entirely. It was laundry, or birds chirping, or turkey bacon frying this morning that made me realize it never happened.
