Thimbles flashfic Week 21
The prompt for this was "Oceans" by Pearl Jam.
I used the following lyric for my prompt
"…and we're all allowed to dream
Of the next time we touch…"

I'm trapped in that moment between sleep and waking up.
My dream lingers, and I desperately hold onto it.
I'm not ready for you to leave me yet. Each night is different, but beautiful because you're always there.
This time, you're laughing at something I've said or done. Your smile is bright and your eyes are alive with wonder.
As sleep leaves my body, you fade away and I can only watch you go.
My hands reach out, desperate to keep you here—even if just for a little longer.
Waking up is the worst part of my day; It reminds me of everything I've lost.
My cheeks are wet with tears I didn't notice I'd cried, and I know I have to do something—I need you back in my life.
I pick up my phone, my stomach doing flips as I wait.
You answer, whispering my name and more tears fall as you agree to meet me.
I won't ruin this chance.
My dormant heart begins to flutter and I let myself hope that we might be okay.
With a smile on my face, I fall back into my bed and let sleep take me once again.
