...

I dreamt of your words;
There - on my screen - were your sentences,
All with proper punctuation:
Colons and semi-colons,
And not one ellipsis.

I opened the emails and saw your paragraphs.
They had meaning.
They said something.
They made me think.

Last night I dreamt you wrote to me,
But this morning I awoke
And remembered.
You're gone.

You’ve sent me nineteen words 
and one exclamation point.

I was hoping for an ellipsis ...
