[Hiraeth]
Someone I had never met before appeared in my dream.
All I could remember when I opened my eyes was that I had never met him.
Or had seen him.
Or had heard his voice.
But I knew that I loved him.
/
Curled up under my thick, blue blanket, I stared at the snowflakes silently drifting away outside the window.
I closed my eyes, and rubbed my toes against the soft blanket.
Maybe, if I closed my eyes, the warmth I felt would last a little bit longer.
The warmth as he held me in his arms.
The flutter when he smiled at me.
The overwhelming sense of happiness when he called my name and looked me in the eyes.
/
Maybe, just maybe, if I fell back asleep, I can go back to where the dream had ended.
But it's just a dream, I tell myself.
/
Months after I had the dream, the warmth I had felt still visit me from time to time.
And every time, I wonder: maybe, I'll meet him in the future.
Who knows, maybe I'm just a hopeless, sappy person.
