Sweet Dream~

       I sit there and cry, face in my hands. I choked and my breath hitched, ugly whining noises coming from my mouth. Hot streams of tears fell down my cheeks and stained them. I wiped more away with my palm, but I knew it was utterly useless due to only more of the salty droplets to come from the flood in my eyes.

I hated doing this.

I hate myself for letting me do this.

I don't want to cry.

    A soft noise behind me was heard. I lifted my head slowly, but didn't turn my head. I didn't want any one seeing my tear stained cheeks. It would be embarrassing. I then heard footsteps on the lavender ground below me. They were slow and smooth, in a andante like manner. The steps echoed throughout the void we were in, becoming louder as the bully neared. I cringed, balling and hiding my face back in my hands again, waiting for an avalanche of crude words and insults to come and crash up against me.  

   The steps stopped. I could feel their presence behind me, inches away. I hold my breath, and wait. I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder, the touch indicated that they were not here to do harm to my meaningless existence, but to accompany, to caress it. I felt my heart skip. I knew this warmth.

    There were more foot steps. Were they leaving? I wanted to turn my head now, but I found myself paralyzed. I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. However, I had no need to move. The person made themselves present to my view. I immediately recognized all of their curves and edges, their face, their eyes.

It was some one I knew.

It was some one I trusted.

It was some one I loved.

   They sat before me, a tiny smile gracing their lips. I weakly smiled back. A small laugh escaped the other's lips, a beautiful sound. Their hand moved to my face, thumb ridding of a tear. They pulled off their jacket, and I quietly questioned why. 

Our eyes locked.

   We sat in a still silence. No movement, no words. There were never any words to begin with. Gorgeous, sparkling green eyes watched me. Beautiful orbs graced their vision along the features of my face, something I disliked, but I didn't feel embarrassed. I knew they didn't think I was disgusting. They told me everyday I wasn't.

   They removed their jacket, and I couldn't help but question why. My question was answered. They threw it around my shoulders, but it didn't stay. The garment stretched into an inky blackness. All I could see was a dark void. Nothing else. I couldn't see.

I couldn't see the one I dearly cared for and so deeply wanted.

Startled and frightened by the sudden dark world encasing me, I jump forward, a small hope within me that they'd be there. They weren't. They left. They abandoned me to deal with this.... 

   I stand, peering around, hoping to see their face. Still nothing. I sigh and felt my body droop, but something caught me. I felt something wrap around my waist, something press against my back. I squeak and look down, seeing arms arms around me in a protective embrace. I felt something rest on my shoulder. I look out of the corner of my eyes and see my lover. I smile and they smiled back at me.

   They were holding me close, protecting me from this dark around us. Their warmth spread through me, and I loved it. It made me feel calm, a certain serenity I could only feel with this particular person. I felt their soft breath brush over my neck, causing me to shudder.

   Although I felt much safer within the arms of my beloved, the darkness still gave me a small fright. My lover seemed to have sensed my fear of the black world, so they held me tighter to them and whispered two simple words into my ear: 

"Just wait."

   And I did. Then, one small, tiny light appeared in front of me. It gave off a warm glow, the small ball of light having a red tint that one could see well if they squinted maybe. It zoomed away and other little balls of light appeared around. It made a soft glow among us, and all of my fear left. The scenery became absolutely beautiful.

   The lights formed into a galaxy, miraculous and wonderful. Whatever ground below our feet vanished, leaving us to float in the universe. I would've floated away, but they were my anchor, to keep me from drifting.

I closed my eyes, letting my body intake the soft glow of the stars and the heat of my lover.

I hope this isn't just a sweet dream...

But if it is...

I never want to wake up.
