Stranger walking past me.
" do I know you?" I wonder.
Something draws me in like a magnetic grip. Is it the mystery you hold? Or the story you never want told?
I know you were just a quick Breeze full of familiarity. Wondering about the past of your reality, but something draws me in a feeling of some time way back when. I couldn't possibly know that stranger on the street ,but still my mind Wonders about who they were.
I keep playing back that moment when that familiar stranger affecting me. It's the way they walk and the color of their hair. I can't even remember the way they appear, but something keeps ripping a tear in my mind. That person stuck to my memory Like Glue.
' you are you'
I keep getting close like a boat drifting to the shore that gets pushed away just when they get a chance to reach the land. ripping myself apart trying to find who it is from all the stories of my past. With that I Drift Off to Sleep.
~Dream~
The sky Chuck blue behind the fog. Focusing on how the clouds are formed and how the sun sets in the sky to shine so perfectly among the fog. My vision climbs down from the sky to a little red Swing swingset that is Rusty in some areas. while the swings hold innocently fully relying on the pole that holds their weight. Focusing on the lillies of the grass my attention is grabbed Away by two girls with beautiful brown hair that is resting on their backs. As well as white dresses are setting carefully on their fragile innocent bodies.
" Ring Around the Rosie pocket full of posies ashes ashes We All Fall Down!" With that both girls fall onto the ground. While fog surrounds the back distance making hard to see anything but a few faint trees. My attention shot back to the girls who are squirming on the ground from falling. Both of them are full of joy.
" This is the best day ever!" One of them shouted. She looked a bit like me, the way her green eyes were large under her glasses. The way her smile sets just right on her face. The other had her back to me but the vibe.
"I know right! Your my best friend!" The mysterious girl squealed.
I've been here before... this Place is so so... the way the air flows not distracting anything. Have the tree branches hanging in the near distance It's All Coming Back to Me Now...
Before I could finish thinking my sight goes back to the girls who are intensely talking with one another. Not letting the ugliness of the world distract them.
"Promise me you will never forget me!!" The mysterious girl says looking to the younger me I am crying.
why?
what?
The sky turned darker
wind howling
the sun fading behind the thick fog that was growing.
"I-No Please you can't leave!" Younger me shouted Beneath the wind.
- my head started to burn.-
"Just don't forget me!" The girl turned to run.
~End of Dream~
I woke up in a sweat
"No it can't be!" With my questionable thoughts I jumped up and ran through my dark apartment. clamoring around in my room rummaging desperately through my closet
not blinking-not thinking-just finding.
"No-No-No!" I continuously rejected many photo albums, homemade picture CDs, and boxes of pictures.
I didn't know what I was looking for. I was delirious. Not in the right State of Mind.
My heartbeat furious as were my eyes. My hands wrestling figure the endless amounts of useless memories.
"Ugh!" I was disappointed. I don't even know why though. What was I even searching for?
Why did I even wake up in the middle of the night thinking I came to find something? I gave up. This is all because of that stranger! That person I don't even know! The person I can't even recall she caused that dream that.... that....
-Breathing out slowly.-
She caused that memory.
I don't remember her..
These were hints that held the key to the answer I was seeking.
I turn away from my closet to walk with small gentle steps over to my bed and which I set down.
"Rebecca." I breathed out gently.
"I remember now." I said running my hands through my naughty hair caused by twisting and turning on the couch in my sleep.
"Ugh I'm sorry I forgot." With that I leaned over to my nightstand
-Crrreeeekkkk- the drawer opened. I shifted papers and useless junk are the way to only pull out a black moon necklace.
~flashback~
"Just don't forget me!"
Rebecca ran into the distance. Tears fell from my face. As my eight year old body felt useless help my friend. I squeeze my eyes shut tightly I fell to the ground catching myself on my hands. I slowly opened my eyes a few minutes after refusing not to open them until after Rebecca somehow reappeared.
She was gone. moving to a foster home after both her parents passed away. I slowly got up from my misery tracking the ground as I moved along to the way home. My eyes continuously tracked the ground until my eyes met a small moon necklace it was Rebecca's. With that I grip tightly.
"I'll never forget" younger me stated
" you Rebecca" I said remembering the end of my childhood phrase.
" I'll never forget you Rebecca" I whisper gently.
It's amazing how a stranger is it a stranger before you met them
