Dream A Little Dream Of Me

I had a somewhat beautiful dream last night that i never want to forget...

There were people all around me. The man-made 'sea' was filled with party-goers and everyone was having a blast. I walked on the sand, feeling the soft grain between my toes while talking to Karen. We moved towards a nearby tent to get food and to sit and chat.

When i walked in, there were PlayStations and televisions lined up at the side and men were transfixed with their games. That was when i noticed a familiar face. I knew it was him but i wasn't entirely sure because i hadn't seen him in a while and he looked slightly different. I continued staring at him and when he caught my eyes, he stared too. But he didn't smile.

I turned away and saw Louanne and Joyce sitting on a round table. They gestured for me to come over. Karen was already there. She went over when i stood frozen staring at him earlier. In the middle of a story that Karen was telling, i got a call. It was from him. Turned out, it was him at the PlayStation area. Although we were near each other, he decided to call me instead of walking over to chat.

On the phone, we did the usual 'Hi, how have you been?' and then, he said something about him wanting to be with someone. I knew it was a hint. I knew his 'someone' was me. I smiled and told him that i wasn't going to say anything unless he told me straightfowardly that he wanted to be with me. I didn't want to say 'yes' only to find out that i had misread his hint. I didn't want to risk being humiliated.

After a while, he still refused to come clean. I was very eager to say 'yes' but still, i held back. I wanted confirmation. It was then that he came and stood in front of me. I smiled and i knew he knew that i wanted what he wanted as well. But both of us were shy.

Then out of the blue, he gave me a kiss. It was just a simple peck on the lips. I closed my eyes and cherished each nanosecond of it while it lasted. He pulled back and i simply stared at him with my lips slightly apart. I didn't smile. I didn't say anything. I was so caught in the moment, i just blanked out. Then he leaned in for another kiss and i wanted to grab his hair and kiss him back but i was still in shock. After the second peck, he stopped and said, "You can kiss me back, you know." I laughed.

Unable to believe that it was really happening, that 'we' could finally happen, i asked him if he was sure he wanted to be with me. After all, i am not the prettiest girl on the block. He just smiled. Then i took the leap of faith and said, "Okay, i'm going to commit to this. Let's make this work."

...and the rest of my dream remained a blur. But it was good enough that i woke up and immediately sat in front of my computer to type this while listening to Katy Perry's 'Thinking of You' - a song that i once listened to in your presence. A song that after so many months, still reminds me of you.
