| - I stood in the room, looking every which way, praying I could find the way out, yet everything was wrong. This was wrong. I wasn�t meant to be here. And there, coming out of a door, I saw you. My one true love, or so all my friends said. And as I walked over to you, you vanished. Into thin air. - I woke up with a start and stared at my ceiling. I was having the same dream over and over. And for what, I didn�t know. Was it showing me what was going to happen? Or was it actually showing my one true love? If that was the case, it was a cruel joke. The guy in my dream was Howie Dorough. A man I was in love with already, but he was famous. After I saw him on the cruise and he didn�t pay much attention to me, my dreams were sorta crushed that we would spend our life together. I glanced over at my alarm clock and saw I still had another couple hours of sleep. I grabbed my black teddy bear with the red nose and the purple bow and drifted back into a restless sleep. - I watched as you walked over to me, letting the water come up and spray across your legs, not caring if it was cold. I took a deep breath when you stopped right in front of me. You reached out your hand to grab mine. You kissed the palm and just stared into my eyes. I could feel you searching my soul. And that scared me. It took all the nerve I had, to look away. Once I did, I noticed we weren�t at the beach, but some place, a place that was perfect for the two of us. - *~* Watching every motion/ In my foolish lover's game/ On this endless ocean/ Finally lovers know no shame/ Turning and returning/ To some secret place inside/ Watching in slow motion/ As you turn around and say/ Take my breath away/ Take my breath away *~* I dragged my ass to work and prayed I could make it through the day. It seemed like it would go on forever and I couldn�t understand why. And once my lunch our came, I was happy. An hour to spend with my dearest friends. We met are our usual place and talked about the most recent events in our life. I tuned them out, still thinking about my dream. �Theresa?� my best friend Jennifer called out. �What?� �Are you with us?� �I�m sorry, it�s this dream I�m having.� �Does it have to do with him?� Jennifer asked, not even looking at me. �What do you mean, him? Him who?� �Him,� another one of my friends pointed out. I turned behind me and stared at the group of young men who just stepped into my restaurant. I took a deep breath and prayed they didn�t see me. Of course no one would know me, right? Wrong. Just at the moment I turned to look, I locked eyes with Howie. I watched as he said something to the guys and walked over to our table. This was not happening. I looked around me, praying, wishing this was a dream. But no, it was real life. I checked him over and thought he looked good. Of course, there�s very few days when he doesn�t look good. I sighed and smiled up at him. He smiled back and nodded his head. �Theresa right?� My eyes opened wide and I stared at him. �H..how did you know who I was?� �I remember you from the cruise of course.� �What?� my mind screamed at me. �Oh, of course.� �Hey, I was wondering if I could see you later tonight. I was trying to find you to ask you something, but I never really got a chance to talk to you on the boat.� �Sure, here�s my number, give me a call. I get off of work at 5:30.� I quickly wrote down my number and handed him the napkin. �Thanks. I have to go but I�ll call you.� Later that evening, I laid down on my bed, my eyes still wide and my heart still beating. I figured I could use a nice little nap before I was up all night, thinking about Howie. I closed my eyes, my ears listening to Howie singing. - I watched as he danced across the room. So many beautiful girls. How could he choose just one? She watched him, wishing he would ask her to dance. But, she knew he wouldn�t. She was to plain, to ordinary. Something he could get in any girl. She sat down and looked at her shoes. At least those were more into her then Howie was. That was, until she saw his shoes and traveled up to see him looking down on her. � *~* Watching I keep waiting/ Still anticipating love/ Never hesitating/ To become the fated ones/ Turning and returning/ To some secret place to hide/ Watching in slow motion/ As you turn to me and say/ Take my breath away/ Take my breath away *~* I woke up to my phone, shocked about my dream. Could it be we were meant to be? I answered my phone and heard Howie speak. And as we started talking, we never did stop. We talked about the cruise and this year�s cruise and how he wanted me to go on it with him. I was shocked, but didn�t know why. He said I was an interesting person and someone who could make him laugh. This was news to me. I asked why he ignored me on the cruise and he said he didn�t mean to, he was just more busy then what he had planned. And when I finally checked the time, it was already going on 12. We had been on the phone for four hours. I told him it was past my bedtime and we wished each other pleasant dreams and a promise to talk to each other tomorrow. I got ready for me bed and stared out the window, watching the stars sparkle in the night sky. I took a deep breath and fall asleep with a smile on my face. - I watched as we had so much fun together. Love partners we were. Soul mates, that was for sure. It always seemed to good to be true. You were always by my side and I couldn�t ask for anyone else. I looked at you and you would smile and yet, I still had a feeling I couldn�t shake. Like something wasn�t right, or this was to good to be true. The smile faded from my face and I tried to think of good thoughts, but nothing would come. And that scared me. � *~* Through the hourglass I saw you/ In time you slipped away/ When the mirror crashed I called you/ And turned to hear you say/ If only for today/ I am unafraid/ Take my breath away/ Take my breath away *~* The weeks for us just flew by. We talked all the time and had fun just spending time together. And I realized we were soul mates. It wasn�t just my way of thinking. I also thought he knew that as well. And I was scared. If my dreams were actually predicting such things, then he would be out of my life just as quickly as he came. But, I wouldn�t let that make me feel sad. He couldn�t just go out of my life. We were meant to be, right? And as the end of his vacation came around, he told me to move with him. Shocked at first, I figured it would be better. And without knowing, I was making a life decision. |
