just for a dream

i bought laundry detergent that smells like you. 

i washed my sheets and pillowcases and your sweatshirt and my teddy bear in it. 

my hope... no-- my wish. . .

is that perhaps when i lie in your smell my dreams might be filled with you

because you've been unusually absent lately in my sleep,

and i really miss you. 

 nevermind that i bought 2 laundry detergents. . .


amidst all this nevermind, i know you wouldn't mind

you would chuckle.  and maybe wish for your sheets to smell

like me

around the world

and tonight we might not be so far apart

but see each other, even if just for a dream
