'sleep to dream'

maria mena


this is 100% true.

I had a dream about you and me last night. we were both much younger, schoolchildren. I had a flower in my hair and a long green skirt and walked barefoot through the park. I sat on the swing and pushed off and asked if you wanted to swing too. you said no, but just stood there watching me, like I was the most beautiful, graceful thing in the world. we heard them coming and I was scared, but you took my hand and we climbed a fence and hid behind the little wooden fort. my heart was pounding so fast I thought it would burst and you kissed my cheek and a tear rolled down. you asked me why I was crying and I told you that I didn't want to wake up; I wanted this to last forever. you said I wasn't making any sense and we heard them again, so we got up, hand in hand, and ran through the streets laughing and loving each other and life.




it was really hard to get out of bed this morning.
