When I want to kiss you,

and  you are far away,

I swallow streams

and chew on dirt,

knowing they are warm,

and sweet.

When no one is looking,

and you are far away,

and I want to kiss you,

I just touch my cheek,

and lift my hand to my lips

— me.

Sweetheart, I spent the evening with Alison Krauss and her new album, Windy City,  and I played her song Dream Of Me.

And I closed my eyes and dreampt of you.

“All I got to do is picture you,

and I can feel you in my heart.

So dream of me every time  you get to feelin’ blue,

dream of me and I’ll be dreaming of you.”

— Alison Krauss, Dream Of Me.
