why did i have to dream about you? the memories were finally slipping from my mind like string unraveling onto a mess on the floor it was hard picturing us having a bonfire talking about music with the beer in your hand as a girl of only 10, you were my world, my rock. my only father figure, but i'd never put that on you. in my head, you were perfect. maybe you weren't, though and that's okay. i'm far from perfect now.. i haven't had a dream in a year, and the first dream i finally accomplish is of you. vividly. heartbreakingly coming back into my life our lives, which you should have done so long ago. we need you now, now that he's dead.
