when i trot over to you i close my eyes and take in your sweet scent. it brings me back to my favorite night with you. i smile and you glance over at me, questioning my giddiness. i nod my head and ask you where were going. you put your hand to your head and scratch as you think, roll your eyes and whisper “it’s a surprise”. i play hit you in the arm and shake my head softly murmuring ‘you always do this to me’.

i slide my fingers into your palm to enlace my fingers into yours. you look over to me as you smack your minty gum across your pearly whites, smiling. i smile back and quickly navigate my surroundings trying to figure out this mysterious destination. you stop, jump in front of me, and beckon me to close my eyes. 

as always, i listen to you and fold my hands over my eyes, blocking my vision completely. i can feel your presence walking away from me.. moving further and further away. i call out for you and hear silence. 

i take my hands away from my eyes and im sitting up in bed, awakening.
