I dawdled along the dark beach on a cloudy day. The sun, not in sight, hidden behind the clouds. I laid down on the warm sand as the pulsing waves covered me, and felt the coldness of the water getting in contact with my skin. My eyes landed on the most gorgeous flowers, which were blooming on the sea. Silver sand, underneath the freezing water. My eyelids grew heavier, and I eventually drifted off to a deep slumber. The coldness of the wind blowing on me gently. ''Talk to me as I am sleeping.'' A strangers voice cooed as I felt the velvety texture of their skin, and the warmness of their hand gently holding me while I was dreaming. The icy breeze hitting me once again, several strands of my hair blowing throughout the wind. "Met you when my heart was bleeding, I'm constantly feeling, drifting through an endless reverie." The strangers voice continued to murmur, and I opened my eyes. Immediately bombarded with warmth, which radiated from the most adorable smile ever known to mankind. It was from a curly haired boy, and I felt his arms gently holding me as we felt the breeze on us.

The sun had completely set, and the twilight moon unfolded. I lost my heart to him. He then placed me on the sand gently and stood up, offering a hand. A small smile crept up on both of our faces as I took his hand with no hesitation. We ran across the beach, and all we could hear was the breath of the wind and the purity of our laughter.

The most gorgeous cloud ever had been spotted in our sight, and the curly haired boy pointed at it, looking back at me and winking. In the blink of an eye, we were rolling onto the cloud. Our fingers were still intertwined, breathing heavily as our bodies laid flat against the cloud. Not a sound could be heard but our laughter which was filled with joy, echoing throughout. He sat up, and I could feel the tenderness of his gaze landing on my lips. In a mere second, he silently started leaning in for a kiss. I shut my eyes and — "Talk to me as I am sleeping.." A cooing voice echoed throughout once again, and before his lips could land on mine, I return back to the time where his hands were gently holding me and caressing me on the dark beach. I was stuck in an endless reverie.
