i had a dream yesterday night.

i dreamt that you told me that you loved me, and you held me close.
and while all sorts of thoughts were running wildly through my head, the two thoughts that i could remember so distinctly were: "dear god, why only now? after so long?!" and "please don't let this be a dream, please don't let this be a dream, please don't let this be a dream..."

and then, evidently, i woke up.
we always do.
