We were walking down the street, hand in hand. We just left the restaurant and were only minutes from your house. I picked up the pace, trying to make it back before it started to rain. The sky was grey. I heard thunder in the ditance, and I could smell the rain coming. Just as we crossed the parking lot into your backyard, it started pouring down. Inches from your door, you let go of my hand. I turned to see what you were doing. You were just standing there, with this grin on your face. I wish I knew what you were thinking at that very moment. I walked over to you, and you grabbed my waist, pulled me close, and kissed me like never before. It was so soft and sexual and my body went numb all over. We were locked in that position, what seemed like a lifetime, not caring that we were soaked from head to toe, or that it was lighting. Who cares if we get electrocuted. At least I would have died happy. When you finally pulled back, I could see your eyes. They were filled with such love and compation. I could also see out of the corner of my eye that we had a few spectators. Im sure everyone thought we were crazy, but you didn't seem to mind. You fell to one knee. and for the second time since I've known you, my heart stopped. You pulled a small black box out of your pocket and opened it. My hands started to shack, and I could tell you were nervous to. You smiled at me (god I love that smile) and said that this was not an engagement ring, it's a promise ring. A promise that you would always be there for me and always love me no matter what the cost. You slid it on my right ring finger and asked if I would accept it as a token of your love. How could I have said no. I've never been able to resist you. Besides, I didnt want to. I fell into you with a hug as our bodies crashed to the ground. For a brief moment, it was just you and me - despite the clapping and cheering in the background from your neighbors.
It's sad to know that it was only a dream. Instead I'm here alone in my bed. I want so much to be there with you. I want to just disappear. I don't care where I go, as long as you are with me. I need nothing else in this world. But my life is here. A place I wish I didn't know. This is no longer my home. This is not where I belong and most defiantly not where I want to be. I take a deep breath, knowing the sooner I get this day over with, the sooner I can see you again. I get up and head to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. My day has to start somewhere. I pour a cup and sit down to read the paper. The phone rings and it's you wishing me a good morning. I smile and know that my day is better because I could hear your voice.
I go to my room and lay down in my bed. I pick up a book and start to read. My eyes grow tired and my arms heavy. This day has passed by so slowly, but finally the time has come. It's time for me to see you again. I put the book on the night stand and close my eyes. wondering what we will do tonight. And before I realize it, I've drifted off and dreaming of you.
