We Met in a Dream
- Gibran -

It was but yesterday we met in a dream.

You have sung to me in my aloneness,

and 

I of your longings have built a tower in the sky.

But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over,

and 

it is no longer dawn.

The noontide is upon us 

and 

our half-waking has turned to fuller day,

and 

we must part.

If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more,

we shall speak again together 

and

you shall sing to me a deeper song.

And if our hands should meet in another dream

we shall build another tower in the sky.
