Please Don’t Let This Feeling End

           Nico and Daddy on his first Birthday-Friday July 26, 2002
 
Oh my precious Angel Nico, I’ve just woken from a dream;
You were on your back, I was kissing you, then these words I heard me scream!
“Oh God, Oh God please, please let this be for real”;
“Don’t have me wake up to find I’m dreaming, and my Nico from me steal”!
.
For a while, I thought it was really happening, it lasted for the longest time;
But eventually, I woke up crying, my pillow soaked in brine!
I made sure not to wake up Mommy, as I tip-toed out our room;
Down the stairs to my writing table, to another night of sleepless doom!
.
For it felt so good to be back with you, that my body will eschew sleep;
So these images will not fade away, and in my mind will longer keep!
Like years before, we were together, our Souls so much in love;
Before you had to leave me, and float to stars above!
.
.
                     Back with dear Nico
                My Soul was happy again
                   But wept when it woke
