Disclaimer: You already know the answer to that. :(
Every night when I go to lie on my bedroll, I face him, so he is the last thing I see when I go to sleep and the first thing I see when I awake.I
watch as the moonlight hits his skin and I fall in love with Richard even more. I'm filled with hopes that I'll get a chance to see him everyday
for the rest of my life. But every time I close my eyes I go out of my head, because I dream of all the things I can't have, that we can't have,
together. I fall into my fairy tale, of him holding my hand and living a care free life. Us, in a house with children living as many in the Midlands
do. And Us running through the gardens in Aydindril while bright stars in the night sky are up above us. Then, rain starts to fall and I hear a
lullaby that he once told me his mother use to sing him to sleep with. The dream seems almost like a prayer, with thoughts of him wrapping
around me til' I can't think. The only good thing about this is that every time I have this dream and I wake up, I see Richard there, wrapping
his arms around me, for real, and he tells me he will forever be by my side.
Every night I have this dream and I don't know if it's a Sweet Dream or a Beautiful Nightmare, even though I don't wanna wake up from it I
still wonder. I dream of the life we could have together, of Richard making love to me. And all I know is I never want to wake up. It's my guilty
pleasure and it's not going anywhere but I know as long as Richard is here, by my side, I'll be floating on air. So it can be a Sweet Dream or a
Beautiful Nightmare, either way I, don't want to wake up from it. But I know I have to and the thing that keeps me going, the thing that
doesn't make me regret waking up is seeing his face. He is now a permanent mark on me, his name is marked across my heart. And forever
with me will he remain, not even death could make us part. Even though I wish that my Sweet Dream or my Beautiful Nightmare could come
true, at least I have Richard, in the flesh, to hold on to. And that's better than any dream I could possibly have.
