A dream

He leaned back in his chair…. Looking on quietly… unable to tear his eyes away even for a second…
Looking at her as she lay curled up against the huge pillow… eyes closed… peace written all over her face…
She looked so much younger….dwarfed against that huge cushion… he could almost see the reflection of the child she had been….the worry lines around her eyes seemed to fade as she smiled…
He wondered what she was dreaming…. Would he be in those dreams ?

His smile faded as he realized… it would soon be time to wake her up…
There were others who had a greater claim to her time than he did… and they would soon begin wondering where she was…
She had come to him directly from the airport… and he feared the questioning “raised eyebrow” looks they would get…
Well…it would be faced when the time came… something had to be done…

Until then… it was time to end the dreams…

I have to say something else... There is something really unique about your personality that I had observed when I had met you... something that shows rarely because you keep it so well covered... It is amazing wen one is lucky enough to get a glimpse of it.. I saw a lil bit of that in this post today...

I am sounding slightly dumb and I know u WILL crack tons of jokes abt this comment so I'll stop...
