The dream

Tonight I visited You in my dream...or was it Your dream. It doesn't really matter. What matters is that we were there - together. It felt so right.

It was pitch-black outside when I entered Your room. I could see the silhouette of Your body rising and falling as You breathed soundlessly. Carefully I stepped closer not wanting to wake You from the peaceful sleep. I stopped right next to Your bed and just stood there watching You. A smile formed on my lips - it always does when I see You or think of You.

I was already very close to You and yet I felt that You were too far away. Without a sound I crawled under Your blanket and laid down right next to You. You stirred a bit and I froze, holding my breath. You mumbled something in Your sleep and it only made me smile wider.

I watched the moonlight playing on Your beautiful face. I watched the shadows, the shapes, the colors. I wanted to feel the perfection of You. Slowly I raised my hand to Your untroubled face but I stopped before my hand came in contact with it. Tenderly I touched Your cheek with only two of my fingers and I felt the light tingle in them as I caressed the soft surface. I needed more. I needed to claim Your lips with the sweetest kiss but I was afraid. I was afraid that if I did so You would have woken up. I wasn't ready to lose the moment so soon.

Instead I brushed away the lock of hair that had fallen to Your eye. Gently I fondled Your cheek, scared that if my touch was a bit stronger I would have broken You. I was unable to take off my hand from Your face, so that's where it stayed.

I laid my head on Your chest and listened to Your breathing. Steadily we rose up and fell down in perfect harmony. I heard Your soothing heartbeats. I tried to hear mine as well but I couldn't. Our hearts were beating as one.

I wished for the moment never to end because this was where I belonged. This was where and how I was supposed to be.

But then You woke up...or was it me.... Now there is million miles between us again. I'm left with a mere memory of this dream and a hope that soon this will be our reality...
