A Dream

"Do you miss me?" I whispered to myself. Most people said if you dreamed about something it meaned that the person was missing you and appeared in your dream. 

I dreamed about you last weekend. In my dream, we were not close, or we wanted to be close, but something pulled us back. We were at somewhere foreign to us. It was somewhere like a fishing community by a sea. The facilities were weathered and rusty. The structure was not sturdy. I could hear cracking sound when I stepped on the uneven, wooden floor. Some part of the hut was above the sea. I could see the wave from the tiny holes in the floor.

It was in the evening. The sun was no where to be found. Yet, it was not too dark that we could not see each other's face. We were getting ready for dinner. I was about to take a shower and you, suddenly, walked past me talking to a person. So I walked to the nearby hut, where you had walked in, to say hi. I poked my head into the hut for it had no door. I saw you taking a bath, naked. I remembered immediately your figure and shape - a body I had caressed and touched. A nostalgic memory flashed into my head. I was lost for a moment before you asked me if I was looking for something.

I was awakened yet stung. You acted that you had not seen me around here before, but your eyes, that pair of eyes, were different. They were soft and comforting as if I were fine. You looked around and I saw another person. I then excused myself and walked away. 

Sadly, I was awakened from my dream. I was regretted that I could not even give you a hug in the dream, for I desperately wanted to do in real life. I hoped you have been fine.

It was two a.m now. I could not get back to sleep. My body was exhausted but not my head. I lied down in bed with earphones in my head, thinking about you and us. The night was silent. The neighbors' dogs were all asleep. I could not hear their bark. The road, too, was quiet not even the sound of vehicle engine. Silence conquered the night. With the repeated music in my ears, it seemed I was alone in this dark night.

On, the music, my mind needed to rest now, for my energy was near zero. Goodnight!
