Sometimes I wonder if our whole relationship was nothing more than a dream I had once… a dream so pleasant that waking up from it felt painfully jarring, like being taken from a warm comforting bed and plunged into a bath of ice.
Perhaps that is all it ever was… one of those dreams where months go by, but in reality, last only minutes. It would be so easy to give up living in exchange for sleeping and I’ll admit that for a while I did.
And still there are days I wish nothing more than to fall back asleep, compelled by the thought that I could live a lifetime with you if I only close my eyes and dream it… But it’s time for me to get up now… for I have been asleep far too long and there’s still so much living left to do.
