Laying still on the ground feeling the rain fall gently down on my face.
The lucid dream of the cold drop slowly rolling down my cheek.
Trying to close my eyes gets harder to each time i succeed.
My Eyes get Dryer and Dryer each time from being open too long.

I can Hear her foot steps coming closer every second and getting louder.
The fear rising as i see her blurry figure appear in my periphery.
Her foot is right next to my left arm. If i listen close i can even hear her breaths.
Time slows even more as she slowly leans down to whisper the secret to me.

"There will be a time where your potential is going to become your downfall,
But instead of losing your will to the unbearable pain and shame,
I suggest you think real hard before you decide to give up completely.
Remember that you are the only one who has any hope at all for this"

A small tear forms in the corner of my eye, and as it starts to fall down...
I no longer feel its warmth as it melds into another rain drop. It's Gone.
And before I realize it, so is the woman whom I knew nothing about.
Before long I forgot what she even looked like. Was she even real?

My eyes strain as i open them for the third time tonight. Sweating and Shivering.
I slowly raise my head but stop as the pain in my neck starts to bring me back.
What was going on? I had no idea. Where was I? On the street sidewalk?
My feet were cold and wet, and i could feel the grime of mud over my legs.

I Slowly get up, careful not to move too fast. I'm having a hard time seeing.
I'm Dizzy and the whole world seems to be laughing at me.
I realize that I'm outside of a small coffee shop that i had visited every few days.
When I look across the street there stands a woman with dark red hair.

I try calling out to get her attention, but she seems to be looking the other direction.
Slowly she turns towards where I'm sitting, and her eyes cross mine.
It's locked... I can't even move. Frozen. Her light blue eyes staring at mine.
She moves her lips and says something I can't hear. A car passes. She is gone.
I wrote this 3 years ago and Facebook memories showed it to me.
