Suddenly his face appears.
He's there. Right in front of her.
Her knight in shining armor,
Her night and day, the only one who ever mattered.
She stammers his name, like a question.
He nods in confirmation, half smiling.
"It's really you?"
"Yes. It's me."
Her entire body shakes as she reaches to hug him.
"This isn't happening. It's a dream."
"No, it's not."
She shakes her head with disbelief,
Joy, pain, and nostalgia flood over her all at once.
"This has to be a dream. It can't be real..."
She keeps repeating over and over,
Her words murmurs as she buries her face in his neck,
Hearing him sigh,
Wrapping her arms around him,
Exchanging hesitant kisses.
Like they don't know where they stand
Or what this means.
All she knows is this feels so unreal.
Suddenly he pauses, drawing away.
"We're still together. Me and her."
Oh. So this is why it felt too good to be true.
Because it was.
She swallows the lump in her throat.
"So we shouldn't be doing this.."
She says it almost like a question,
Almost hopeful
That he will tell her he missed her
Just as much as she missed him.
He only replies with
"She loves me, you know... and I love her."
The last part almost hesistant.
She wants him to take it back
To tell her it doesn't matter.
That no other girl will ever be the same
That he wants her back.
She looks into his eyes, her gaze
The only sign of desperation.
But he doesn't say it,
And she looks past his shoulder to see his friends.
So he didn't come alone.
She steps back as they pull him away
And settles in behind the group,
Following quietly,
Her heart shattering all over again
With every step she took.
..
And suddenly I hears voices,
Like a hand is reaching into my world,
And pulling me away.
Like some kind of thin viel has been covering my eyes
And now it's being lifted.
And then my eyes open.
So I was right. Of course it couldn't be real.
I close my eyes, willing his face back,
Scrambling to grasp the last few fading seconds
Before it dissapears altogether.
...After all, why would he even bother to visit?
