dream state
______

the closest i've gotten to remembering my past is through dreaming. i would have a few reoccurring dreams about a woman with short black hair that just went past her shoulders and a girl that was around my age but younger. the longer i tried to look at their faces though, the cloudier it got.

the woman i never seemed to recognize, but the girl-my heart always had this sinking feeling whenever i would see her. the woman would always tell me through quiet sobs, "remember history," before a gunshot went off and i would wake up in a cold-sweat, shivering and nauseous.

the boy with the ravenous eyes would hold my hand and stroke my hair until i would fall back asleep. there were times i couldn't, but i knew he was tired and after everything he did for me, i couldn't help but to feel guilty about being the burden. his thumb would gently comfort the back of my hand as he held it in a soft grip. his chin would always sit on the edge of the couch as he watched and waited for me to sleep again before nodding off himself.

emotions were never something we willingly brought up, but i think that was his way of consoling those thoughts that stayed in the back of my mind.
