“I walk by the characters I don’t know yet, but it isn’t them I’m looking for.
I’m looking for him. It feels so real, seeing him standing there. He smiles, and my heart does all the things it always did around him. Too fast. Too slow. Just right.
He pulls me close and I swear I can feel him. I can smell him. Feel the warmth of his chest, his arms around me, the kiss he places on my head.
I squeeze my eyes closed, holding onto him for as long as I can, because I know the moment I speak, the dream will end, and he’ll be gone.”
