“It was just a dream”


You took me. You had me, my soul, my mind, my body. I was alone, I was scared and you showed me the way. 


We met at the park, your eyes glowing and sparkling with joy, I've never seen a guy so happy in love. I was your everything, and you made me feel safe. 


We talked for hours, it was you and me no one else. The world was so silent when I heard you speak, spoken words like poetry. You walked me home holding my hand, just to make sure I was safe. You kissed me, my lips flaming with sparks. 


It was magical until it wasn't. Because when I woke up you were gone. I run to tell the closest person to me about how wonderful you are. She tells me it sounds so beautiful, but it was just a dream. You never existed, you were never here. And I never fell in love. 


“It was just a dream” but how could it be? To me you were real. How could you not be real? Why would the universe make me fall in love with an imagination? A thought? A false reality? 


Tears fill my eyes, as desperation fills my heart. I searched for you in every guy I met. Hoping and wishing you'll show up.


Only now do I realize the only way to see you again is when I dream. And so I fall asleep every day and every night. Because no other living guy can match up to what my mind created you to be. 


I now say goodnight to my reality, and good morning to you. 


Because in my world, you are real and reality is the dream.
