3.
I'm walking down the streets again. Actually it's more like sleepwalking since I haven't slept in three days. Yes, it's been three days since that day. Every night since then I've been walking the streets and climbing up houses (and almost fell) just in the hopes of catching a glimpse of him but I never did.
During the day I kept myself awake with coffee, very strong coffee. At work they're pretty pissed with me. I'm more daydreaming than writing lyrics and when I write it sounds like crap. They've threatened to fire me but that wasn't exactly the boost I was searching for.
I have to see Danny again. I need to see his sparkling blue eyes, I need to hear his rough yet warm voice and I need to feel his strong arms around me again.
I suddenly remembered the melody that had stuck in my head then and hummed it again, trying to keep myself awake. I felt how my eyes began to feel heavy and wanted to close. Damn, that last cup of coffee is starting to wear off! And I'm too far away from any night shops or my home to turn back.
Through the eyelashes of my closing eyes I looked around. Of course there was no one to be seen. It was 4 am, normal people are sleeping.
I did notice that I was standing in the middle of the street and started to walk to the footpath. But I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and collapsed.
When I opened my eyes I saw to my surprise that I was lying in my bed. I rubbed my eyes and looked again but I was still in my room.
'Finally awake are you?' his voice asked. I immediately looked in the direction the voice came from and found him coming from the terrace. A huge smile appeared on my face.
'Danny! You're here!'
'Yeah, since I found you sleeping in the middle of the street'
I noticed it was dark outside but I was fully awake. I know I must have slept of hours.
'And when was this?' I asked
'Two days ago' he said and I widened my eyes. I slept for 2 days?
'So how did you sleep?' he asked sitting down on the end of my bed.
'Great!'
'Yeah, thought so, you were talking in your sleep'
'What did I say?' I asked careful, hoping I didn't say anything embarrassing.
'You said my name a few times' he said looking at his hands but with a smile on his face. 'I couldn't understand the rest'
I felt myself blushing. I said his name while I was sleeping? I was glad he couldn't understand everything. If I said his name means that I was dreaming about him and knowing my dreams…
A beeping sound broke the silence and he took some kind of devise from his pocket.
'Shit! I have to go, the sun is coming up'
'What? You have to go again?' I asked disappointed
'I'm sorry' he replied genuinely
'But..'
'I'll come back tonight if that's alright?'
'Yeah, of course' I said smiling but trying to hold in most of my excitement.
'But I have to go now' he said putting his jacket on. 'Take care of yourself'
'I will' I said and he smiled before flying away again.
