I had a dream last night
For the first time in months
And in that dream, I saw her again
I was sleeping, and I dreamed I was alone in a glass capsule floating in the middle of the sea
It was dark, i couldn't tell if the water was black
or red
And the sky was full of charcoal clouds and fire
There was a window type thing open in my capsule
I was trying to figure out how to close it when I started sinking
Water didn't suddenly flow in though
It was a slow trickle
And no matter how far down i sunk,
I had a theory after a few hours there was no bottom,
I could still see the sky and the sea
Trying to strangle eachother
But through the water it was tinted red
And the water was getting very close to my neck
And it was flooding in faster now
But instead of trying to take another breath, I sat down in the water
And I drowned as I watched the futile battle, lighting flew down at the churning sea as it rose higher and higher to drown the clouds
And I woke up screaming
I got in a car
And I drove to her
No phone, no maps, it didn't matter that I don't even know where I am in my own neighborhood usually,
Because it was my fate to find her
Our heartstrings were tangled and I was following that invisible thread
That lead me straight to her
So I knocked on her door,
And she opened it and smiled
The first genuine smile I have been given in months
And she took me inside
And she held me while I cried
And listened as I told her my dream
I apologized for not calling ahead
As we sat on her bed
But she told me she didn't mind
And she stayed by my side
As weeping started turning to sleeping
And when I closed my eyes there

My eyes automatically opened here
This world they call reality
And when I realized I did not actually see my old friend, and that the comfort I recieved was not comfort at all, it was just a wish
And I cried again
