Dixie
August
~~
She dreamt of him last night, just like every night.
But this time, he asked her, "What's your biggest mistake?"
And she reached for him in her dream world, but he was gone, and she woke up before she could answer him.
Even though she knew he couldn't hear her,
Dixie said it out loud.
"You. Losing you. Pushing you away. Letting you go. It will always be you.
She reached for her phone and typed a text, hesitating before sending it.
She doesn't know if he'll reply, but he does.
"You're up?" Dixie glances at the time. 4:15 am
And she knows the only people who are up this early are the ones in love or heartbroken, and she couldn't decide which one she was.
She rubbed her eyes and wrote back. "Yes. I needed to know you're there."
She doesn't remember his reply, because she was slowly falling asleep.
But she knew right then, the only people up this early were either in love or heartbroken, and she was in love with a boy who was heartbroken.
