I Dreamt


Originally Uploaded here by _rebekka

I dreamt of you. You are hard and thin, like a dark fruit tree with smooth bark from an exotic country. I don't even remember what about, but I woke up a few hours after midnight and launched myself out of bed. Shaking with exhaustion, I paced about, fearful of a return to sleep as like waking from a nightmare. I couldn't think, nauseaus from how tired I was. Eventually, being incapable of doing anything else, I returned to sleep.

I dreamt of you. You are soft and thin, like a light feather that might blow away in the wind but leave behind a sensory memory that will not fade. I dreamt of you like I have lived alongside many of my other lovers. That you and I were not together, but were not apart, living in a endless series of motions that were not cheating but barely. Enough to keep me sane, enough to keep me yours.

I did not sleep well.
