I was lying down in a dream last night
and felt a woman lying beside me
whose face I could not see
lying nearly cheek to cheek with me
I took a chance and kissed her
gently on her cheek
hoping it wouldn’t be too forward
despite us lying nearly
cheek to cheek
the kiss must have been okay
she didn’t react angry or shocked
pity I woke up after the kiss
and didn’t get a kiss from her.
