Reality A soft brush of sweetened lips against your own, the scent of roses not too far away mingled with the saltiest tang from the gently lapping tide of the sea. A shiver visibly runs a course through your spine and goosebumps scatter over your skin in a domino-like way, the warmth of the sun above your head feels like the warmth and comfort of a mother's arms, yet the wind passing gently between you feels almost like a pair of father's eyes; watchful, protective. Hands entwine, making you feel more alive than ever before, the pulse of the person before you flooding into your hand and matching to the fluttering beats of your own heart. Silence. Not a sound to ruin this moment, just the lapping tide and the wind disturb the serenity of this scene, heartbeats audible from being so close. No need to utter a word. Everything is complete now, even the sound of your hushed breaths becomes a serenade, you understand each other... Yet this can't last. Thunder clouds rumble towards you violently, the wind picking up its pace and whipping at your skin harshly... The sea becomes a death trap as the waves increase in height and climb into the sky, only to crash back down with the anger of a betrayed lover. Fingers lose their grip and you claw through the wind to find your other half, to stop the madness unfolding in front of you where there was once calm. Rain begins to hurl itself at your eyes, blinding you completely. No words will come, no cries of sorrow nor shouts for help will release themselves from your lips. You feel yourself being dragged helplessly down into an abyss of nothing but empty space... Falling... Falling... You awake with a start to the piercing cry of your alarm clock, the light that filters through your curtains is like a dagger to your eyes. Grumbling and stumbling out of bed it hits you like a wall of bricks... It was nothing but a dream... #life must now go on.
