Thinking Of You

Perfectly Placed

I close my eyes and recall that day.

"Excuse me?"

"Hmmm?" Was the only thing I can mutter.

"I think I know you."

"Uhmm... You do?" I thought he was one of those psychos that won' leave you alone. He slides himself on the seat in front of me.

"Chelsea, right?"

"Well, uhm, yeah. Hi!?" I say with a smile. I was pretty confused.

He sat and stared. Just stared.

"Uhm, sorry, but I just... I like your presence." He said, out of nowhere!

I did not reply. He's pretty odd. Maybe he was really part of the psycho society.

"I've been dreaming of you. They were all real. You are real. I guess we are perfect," he said.

"I don't get what you are saying."

"Astral plane."

"Pardon me?"

He started talking about this place that souls are the inhabitants. Human souls, to be exact. It is when we sleep. Our souls depart from our body for a while, and interact with other souls. Having a mind of your own, having a sense of memory, the soul will come back to the body, carrying something that seems real.

He said he saw me in his dreams. It started one night, after his break up. It was the worst break up for him. He saw his girl... Doing.... Things.... For another man.

He didn't want to elaborate on it. I let him be. I thought it was that painful.

Then he came back to life again. He was all smiles.

"And then there's you" he said.

"Me?"

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry but I didn't really get you. I mean, me and you... We just met today! The astral plane thingy... I'll research on that... But still," and he cuts me off.

"Sshhh..." He said, putting one finger on his lips. "There are things that you don't need to understand. Just accept. Say yes, agree .... Even if you don't know what is happening. Just be there when the opportunity comes to you. Accept it and you'll be happy, at least. But most of all, you will learn."

He silenced me with what he said.

At some point, I remember myself pondering on what he said. I pondered on it for a second. It was that fast. That striking.

It was enough to take me away...

Away with him.
