In a dream,

The city lights illuminated as people shadowed them with a step

A mere centimetre outside can land a taste of tangible food on my mouth

An outburst of

Cars, Chatter, Subway Stations, Advertisements, TV news,

A man bellowing the fifth time for a taxi

Lack of stars in the middle of the night

I cherished the bustling sounds while it lasted

For a moment, I wanted to believe I wasn't dreaming

Because at home, I could only hear silence

Trees, trees and more trees instead of LED lights

A step outside, morning dew oppose to the taste of a banana split

A mirror slides in a nearby store

As if my curiosity wasn't already sky rocket

My long fingers ran along the smooth surface of my reflection

A boy stares into my fearful eyes

Because I am not a boy

I am a female

The scream of a certain person catches my attention as their eyes locked on mine. An unfamiliar name...

I realized, I wasn't dreaming...

-the girl who loved his life as much as he loved her
