"I want to be with him here forever. I want him to be with me always."
Dream still was holding my hand. We still were making an eye contact. I felt so much better around him. I knew he was that one person I always dreamed of.
But I also knew that he had a world of his own. A world that held him, that wouldn't let him leave. I also knew that he would be gone soon.
"Nothing's perfect. I know it'll be over soon."
"It won't end, George. I'll be here with you as long as I can. And then... then it'll get better."
He assured me, and then he took his hand off
mine.I sensed his uneasiness, I knew he wasn't sure of what he was assuring me, but I still was feeling good.
One thing puzzled me - why did he take his hand off mine? Had I done something wrong? But I had no way. Maybe I did?
"George, I'm a little tired now. I'm sorry for taking my hand off, it's just...I don't know why I did it."
"Don't worry. I totally understand. It's all right."
I said and gave him a slight smile.At some point I saw Clay start to drift off to sleep, not on the bed but on my shoulder. I had no problem with that, in fact I was glad to have the opportunity to feel close again. Even though I wasn't in the most comfortable position, I wanted him to be convenient and I wanted him to feel as pleasantly as possible.
But he wasn't the only one who was tired. I was too. But the thought kept bothering me. I felt like it was trying to kill me. My only thought was him.
What am I supposed to do now? I'll try to find something, maybe the internet can help me.
"How to fall asleep?
I searched that and it came up with a bunch of ideas. Although there were a lot of them, one in particular caught my eye.
Listen to calming music. It will help you relax and get your mind off things.
I wondered if it would work. I had heard about this method many times - it had been recommended to me many times.
But at that moment one thing came to my mind - I can't do that, because there is a chance that I will wake him up, but maybe I will let something go... maybe nothing will happen?
After a moment of reflection I decided that despite the risk I would do it. I bent down slightly, put out my hand and grabbed the player lying on the nearby shelf.
There was only one song on it. It was my favorite song - but not just my favorite song. It was our favorite song.
Your love by Glass Animals.
At that moment my thoughts were blown away, I had so many amazing memories with this song that it made me definitely relax.
After about 5 minutes my eyelids started to stick together, my head started to droop, my body relaxed and I knew that this was the moment I was about to fall asleep.
"I shut my eyes
You call but I just cut the line"------------------------------------------------------
The next day came. The music was still playing and it still really was calming me down.
"Daylight can open my eyes
And you'll still be by my side"I still kept my eyelids closed but I felt somehow...lighter?
"Ok I'll open my eyes now, I can't wait to see him again"
I opened my eyes, then looked at my shoulder. There was nothing there. There was no one there. There was no him there.
"Clay, stop fooling around, I know you're here!" I said, and then I laughed because I thought he was joking.
"Clay?"
Okay, I'm getting worried. I don't know how to take this. I mean, he couldn't just disappear, right?
"Dream, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, whoever you're with, I'm here with you, remember."
Please come back.
"I guess I want you more than I thought I did
Now that I know that part of you's not part of this."I know you're out there somewhere. And I believe you'll be here with me.
"What if he's stuck in this other world? Maybe there's a way to get him back here? What if he's in danger?"
The thoughts returned, but this time it was simply concern.
Maybe I can try to get him back here somehow? I'm sure there's a way. But wait... it's impossible.
If it doesn't work that way, I'll do something else. I'll try to get to him.
