Just a Dream

                                    

                                          
You ran to me, calling my name. I smiled and wrapped my arms around your waist, spinning you and hearing your beautiful laughter. I smiled and placed a delicate kiss on your cheek.
                          
You don't know how much I missed having you by my side. I missed this so much. I kept your hand locked with mine, toying with your thumb while we walked the length of the beach.
                          
We did everything together. Went to the theater, the park, a baseball game, even just hung out at our houses and relaxed for once. I loved you being in my presence.
                          
We fought too, like any partnership. But we were strong enough to overcome it. We were stronger than most. And I loved you even more after we fought, knowing you still wanted to stay with me as bad as I wanted you.
                          
She would try to mess with us, but you ignored her. Once you fell in her trap, but realized who she really was and came right back. I was all you ever needed.
                          
I kept my grip right around you while you slept. I didn't want to loose you again.
                          
You snore gently. Did you know that? I smiled and pressed my face into your back, pulling you even closer.
                          
You stirred, waking and rolling over to face me, still in my arms. You kissed me ever so gently, yet still so full of passion. It sent shivers down my spine, just like the way it always has.
                          
I miss you. I whispered into your ear.
                          
Wake up.
                          
What? I opened my eyes, watching you slowly fade away.
                          
Wake up, Ryan.

I woke up, sitting too quickly and feeling a pounding in my head. I waited until it faded, than sat, staring alone in the darkness.
                          
Right. You weren't actually here with me.You never were. You ran away, happily with her.
                          
We haven't talked for about twenty years now. I'm in my late forties, still alone and hoping for a guy like you to come around.
                          
Nathan is in his thirties now, planning a wedding already in California. Allie is in Europe, with her husband and two little boys. And I'm still here. Waiting.
                          
How is she treating you? I hope you're happy. I wonder if you ever think about me. I think about you everyday.
                          
I have now come in terms with the fact that everything I knew, loved, and believed... was a dream.

A/N Hey.
                          
It's short.
                          
It's terrible.
                          
It's kinda sad.
                          
But I don't care. :D
                          
I haven't done a short story in a while.
                          
So why the hell not?
                          
Enjoy your night guys.
