Reunited Again in My Dream

Reunited Again in My Dream

This is written for my younger brother, Favour Olatuja who died many years ago. A guy I so much love and I really can never forget. I dreamt of him this morning and we laughed and smiled together. This is not is picture above though...I have is face in my heart. I love you brother... If we get to heaven, you are the first person I want to see... Rest in peace, my blood...

*******************************************

I've hidden my love beyond the reach of men

But you took it with a simple hug

I clasped it in my palm

You stole it with a shake

I clogged it between my teeth

You ate it with a kiss

I am the one who cried when you fall

I am the one who gets hurt when you cry

I placed my head on your chest when you sleep

Just to listen to the melodies of your heartbeats

But when you decide to go down the secret lane of death

You went alone

I thought my pains will heal with time

And that one day my tears will stop

But the people will love do not always die in our hearts

They only become the splendid stars in silent memories

Sometimes they crawl back into our lives

To flaunt the moments we once shared in our minds

Sometimes, we are reunited in our dreams

Since true friendship never dies

If the dead also dream

I know you too will dream of me

Like I just did of you
