A dream.
This is how I see you. Talk to you. Many years on since we were together and all that's left are these dreams of you.
If I remember right - we never quite can remember the details of our dreams - we were talking at a party. It felt natural and fluid with little or no awkwardness; which I thought strange. Shouldn't I be nervous? After all, it's only been 28 years.
28 years. Time is running amok.
Nonetheless, in that precious dream moment - how long are dreams anyway? - it felt like a splendid eternity. Like that time we met behind in the Junior high alley arranged by our friends. I asked you out and you said yes.
Your husband suddenly appeared and all went silent. I forgot to ask where you lived.
It was an unforced error for I knew once I awoke we would again be lost to reality.
My only real image of you.
A dream.
