I Dreamt of A Past Love

I dreamt of a past love
It was short but sweet,
warm and neat
Not a rush, rather slow
Friend first, lover second

I dreamt of an old love
His warm hands embraced me
Protected me, comforted me
He looked through my eyes
and saw my hurting heart
He didn't even get angry,
that I still had someone with me

"Leave him," he said
"If he hurt you, just leave him and be with me"
We hugged and kissed under the blanket
No further sexual action which I didn't need
I cried for sometime on his shoulder

I dislike the idea of knight in shining armor,
nor a prince on a white horse,
but I'd gladly call him my dragon slayer.
