I dreamt of you last night.
I had this dream about waking up in your arms. You were holding on to me not too tightly yet snugly in a way I've always wanted to be held. I could hear your heartbeat in sync with mine. The warmth of your breath on my skin, unruffled and calm as the wind near the sea shore on a starlit night, makes me hold my breath even in the dream . Your face looks peaceful and vulnerable, it makes me believe that this world is still beautiful. It makes me think about all the fairy tale love stories that I had sceptically read and review the concept of happy endings that I have always treated with so much contempt, they may not be all that fictional.! But just for that moment of watching you sleep, I would want to let go of all the happy endings and forever afters that this life could offer. I close my eyes to absorb all this and to take a deep breath. The dream ends... I wake up with the not-so-sweet taste of reality but with a familiar warmth in my bones, maybe its the sunlight.
