No limits to dream.

Coming Back.

I collapse into his arms. I feel so suffocated and trapped . 

I explode into tears and I don't think I'm going to stop.

"It's okay Lexie !", Andrew says comforting me as he hugs me tighter .

Lexie.

He's never called me that before . 

He places my head on the soft pillow and closes my eyes .

I hear mom singing that old lullaby she always sang.

"When the stars fade from the sky  ;

and you lie down on mother's lap , 

she'll kiss you goodnight , 

then the sun will paint the sky ,

and you'll be awake to shine ,

Then everything  will be okay ,

cause now your awake ".

 I go back to a time when I still wore piggy tails with pink ribbons in the end and listened to mom sing as I slowly shut my sleepy eyes and slept in her lap.

It was just me and her all the time . I had all her love . I had her heartbeat's warmth . I had her eyes guarding me .

"Alexis?" , he calls .

"I'm okay !", I say almost warningly .

"You need rest , you need a lot of it ", he advises .

Since meeting Calvin , I've lost control of myself and I clearly don't know where things are going.

"I'm pulling myself together , I don't think I need rest !", I say .

"Okay,as you wish ", he says .

*******************************

I go home early to revive everything I've lost in the past few days and return to my normal self .

"Lexie ?" , Dan calls me .

"Yes Daniel ? ", I reply .

" Can you sing me a song ? " , he requests . 

"Song ? " , I ask .

"Please !",He replies .

"Fine", I will .

"I'll save a little place for you under the sky ,

near the lavenders and roses ,

beside the rising sun .

a place where you'll always be mine ,

a place where I'll have you and love , 

beautiful and lovely just like your green eyes , 

away from worries , away from pain ,

in a little warm place by my heart's warmth."

"It's beautiful Lex ! " . "You are an amazing singer !".

"I am ?" 

"Yes ! "

"Oh, thank you Daniel ! ".

Dan ! From that little infant who has never seen his parents , he's so grown up now . Five years later.But he's still the same . That little boy who mom made me promise to look after.
