Leah
This world is no longer ugly and dark.
I say this
Because I am now not the only one in it.
Dreams becoming a reality
Or rather
Reality becoming a dream.
A cool breeze
Drying the tears on my cheeks
Cold lines down my face.
Left foot
Right
Right foot
Left.
Going on and on
Back like a timeline
Where I am is Billies driveway
And where I'm headed;
The nothing.
Billie
The swing slowly rocking in the breeze
As I lay here on my back
Face up
To the sky
Asking it where to go.
Clarity
Breathing its way into my mind
I know where.
Left foot
Right
Right foot
Left.
Going on and on
Like a timeline
Where I am is the park.
Where I'm headed;
My house.
Leah
I don't have to walk for long
I didn't have to go all the way
To the nothing
Because I see her
But she doesn't see me
Not yet.
I walk a little closer
My knees beginning to buckle
Head throbbing
Eyes half-closed
The town
Only being lit up by a blue tone
Moonlit
Her green roots glowing
Like her smile
Her eyes
Her.
Billie
I'm so tired.
I just want to fall asleep and wake up somewhere else.
But somewhere else isn't here
And I need to be here.
Left foot
Right
Right foot
Left
On and on.
I'm near my house.
Two streets away.
I want her
I need her
It's her.
Because no one else makes sense.
And then
I'm stopped in my tracks
Because I know I can't dream
Within a dream
Within a dream.
I know this is real.
Because she's standing in front of me.
Leah
We do nothing
For about ten seconds
Simply staring.
I can tell she's thinking the same thing.
"Come here,"
But I'm so weak
Then, I'm falling
The hard concrete almost meeting my useless frame
But I'm caught
By a pair of strong arms
And engulfed in a familiar vanilla scent.
I'm home again.
She just stands there
Me in her arms as drops of water
Trickle down
Drenching our clothes
Drenching us
Before she presses her lips onto mine once again
A feeling I've missed
And needed so desperately.
Her fingers curled in my hair
Arm around the back of my neck
Connected
for what seemed like a lifetime.
And we stood here
In the middle of the street
Moonlight spilling down on us
As it rained
And rained
And rained.
