Dream Girl by Luke Christopher

My mind spins.
Trying to come up with words, phrases, that describe these feelings.
My mind cries, it screams, it calls out, but who is it calling to?
Can you hear it? Can anyone hear it?

I feel you out there.
Do you feel me? Do you know who I am?
I run after you. Never stopping, resting,
I have not rested in my quest for you in so long.
I don’t remember what it feels like to rest.

By now my heart should be pounding, but instead it stands still.
There used to be 2 heart beats in there, but now is there even one?

I remember your face. Your eyes. Your lips.
I can almost remember what it was like to touch you.
I see you at night, but as I reach for you, the mist swallows you out of my sight.
I chase the memories, but they fade. Please don’t fade, I need these memories.

Have I been chasing memories, or was it real at one time?
I don’t know anymore. I have these thoughts. These dreams.
In them, the looks you give me, melt the ice from my eyes.
The words you say. I can’t hear them, but I know they touch my heart.

Why did you find me?
Why did you touch my soul?
Why did you love me?
Why did you leave me?

I can’t touch you anymore.
I can’t feel your touch on me.
I can’t feel anything.

My world is a frozen place where dreams go to die.
I remember what warmth felt like.
I know you carry that warmth with you, but you aren’t real anymore.

You have disappeared into the mist again. The mist lingers there
Just like the memories of you linger.

Are these dreams I have of you haunting me?
Or are they the only time when I am truly happy?

Stop running.
Let me catch you.
Let me catch the breath you took, when I first saw your face.

I’m so tired.
I feel sleep coming over me.
Will you meet me there?

I see the mist.
I see your silhouette.
I’m reaching for you…
