Adventures, Memories, and Everything in Between

i had a funky dream last night

obviously it was about you.

i dreamt that i was dying but i wasnt allowed to tell anyone.
the rules were, if i say anything, i die immediately.
otherwise, i die at sunset.

i spent most of the day with my family and friends, just hanging out. going out to eat, and we went to some amusement park where i rode some roller coasters and stuff. it was pretty fun, not gonna lie.

we headed back home.

as the sun began to set, my mind went back to you.
knowing my mom would never say yes because she wouldnt understand why, i snuck out of the house and i ended up on your doorstep.
i took a deep breath and rang.

your mom answered the door.

she looked at me once and began to close the door.

i told her to just wait for one second, i promise there's a good explanation.

i told her that if she let me see you one more time,
id never bother you or your family ever again.

she hesitated, then went back inside.

she came back out with you.

"you have 5 minutes," she told me.

she shut the door.

me and you on your front porch.

you smile and hug me.

i begin to cry.

you step back a little and look at me. you realize im not crying out of happiness.

"hey hey hey," you half whisper. "whats wrong? its okay, im here." you run your fingers through my hair and down the back of my neck.

the sun was almost gone from the horizon.
my last 5 minutes would be spent with you.

you asked why i was here.

"shh," i told you. "dont say anything. just be right here with me."

we watched the sky change from orange and pink and yellow to light blue, then dark blue, then black.

i looked up at you, and touched you.

"im sorry," i said.

"i love you," you responded.

i woke up just as the sun disappeared.
