When I Loved You in a #Dream”

 

 

“When I Loved You in a Dream”

Every night, when the world fell silent, I found you.

You never aged.

You never changed.

You stood there—smiling—beneath a sky that never turned dark.

In the dream, we had no past. No pain.

Only now. Only us.

We danced without music, laughed without reason, and spoke with our eyes.

I never asked where you came from.

You never asked why I kept returning.

But one night, I dared to say it:

“Do you remember me when I’m awake?”

You looked at me with a sadness I hadn’t seen before.

And then you whispered:

“I exist only in the parts of you you’ve forgotten.”

The dream began to fade.

Your hands slipped from mine.

The sky cracked into morning light.

I awoke alone.

But my heart… it still remembered.

Even if I loved you only in a dream—

it was the most real love I’ve ever known.
