Just an Ode to My Aunt

Even when you are gone
In my dreams, you are still there
It means that my subconscious still thinks you are alive
It messes me up when I wake up

While dreaming, I think and know you are dead
But I see you there, breathing, with us
So happy, so at ease
Why does my mind work like this?

I do not want to see dead people
Even if I am just dreaming of them
No, it is not a nightmare, I was not scared
It is just that when you are awake
reality sinks in deep
and you remember that they are not there anymore
It is like having a nightmare while being awake

I know you are happy
I know that you have rest
I know that you are okay
We know that it was for the best

I know you have lived a life with no regrets
At least we can say you are in a better place
No more suffering, no more pain
We love you, and you did not die in vain
