I was in a state of sleep that wouldn't allow me to wake up.
I could hear the screaming, begging me to wake up, but I couldn't. I couldn't force my eyes to open.
While my eyes were closed, my mind was open. I could see and touch him like I used too. I reached out and grabbed him and I was able to feel him there next to me.
The things I dreamed of doing, and not being able to do awake. I did while I was in this state of unconsciousness.
