I slept the night off with that beautiful dream of holding her in my arms, despite knowing it wouldn't happen even if the sky fell. It was a pacifying night that I came across after a long time. She had been the reason I couldn't sleep until the day before but she turned out to be the reason why I could sleep peacefully that day.
The next time I woke up, I could hear tufted titmouses' chirps arising from the woods. It must be already the morning. I rolled onto the bed with shut eyes, realizing the beautiful dream had already ended and I'm alone again. The sudden heartache was unavoidable. Not only my heart, but my whole body was also sore for no reason. I tried to move my hand but it was numb. I groggily opened my heavy eyes but was stunned at the view in front of me.
It wasn't a dream...
