Dream

I recently had this wonderful dream. Listen.

I was walking down the sidewalk when I suddenly saw a beautiful girl walking toward me. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, after all, you see hot girls everywhere you go on a crowded street, but something about her caught my eye. She was a short brunette dressed simply, not some super-cool mega-star in a flashy miniskirt, just plain black pants and a black T-shirt. Damn, what caught my eye? A fantastic figure? That too. A wonderful bust, as one of my friends put it, the kind that fit perfectly in my hand? Hmm, well... There's no denying there's something to it. But I wasn't looking at her breasts then. I was looking straight into her eyes and walking forward. At some point, she realized I was devouring her with my eyes, and our gazes met. I felt my legs weaken. Unable to go any further, I stopped. She approached me and, still looking straight into my eyes, smiled. I felt my heart stop, a sudden wave of immense bliss wash over me. I looked at her smile, at her smiling eyes, and I didn't know where I was or what to do. I don't know how long we stood there, facing each other. Suddenly, my hands, of their own accord, gently wrapped around her waist and pressed her even more gently against my chest. She didn't pull away; she gave the impression she'd been waiting for this, as if she knew perfectly well she'd meet me here, knew it would all happen and that it had to be this way. She snuggled into me, and suddenly I heard the one question I'd been waiting for all along:

"Do you love me?"

And then I felt like I was just going crazy the whole world is unimportant everything that has happened so far is unimportant everything is only starting now I thought yes yes yes I love you I waited for you for so long where have you been until now where I only felt the sun shining my face was nestled in her hair I felt her scent she was mine now I knew I had to walk this street I had to meet her now everything will be alright the world became colorful the trees were green again I loved this world I loved her and everything everything now I'm happy yes now truly forever until the end never it will end this way and we will stay ... For our happiness, because now we are here, I'm gone and she's gone, we are here and that's how it's supposed to be, that's how it had to be, alone, I don't think I believe what happened, but it's the truth, it happened, I feel her in my arms because she's mine just like I am hers, because now, completely, and nothing else, just us. It may sound devilishly clichéd, and my mind is starting to repeat itself, but it's out of happiness, because I found true love, and what's more, it's mutual, and yes, because we both love each other, she loves me and I love her, and I feel within myself the enormous power to do, to create everything just for us. I knew we had to tell each other many things, I knew I knew everything, that now it's not important what happened before. I felt tears gathering behind my eyelids, I don't know why, they must be tears of happiness, definitely wounds, I'm about to go crazy, so happy.

I woke up with my arms wrapped around the matted duvet, wet with sweat, my face buried in the tear-stained pillow.
