Awakening - Freewrite

It wasn't the wind that was blowing softly across the bare nape of my neck.

It was the memory of her voice softly calling me.

As I laid in bed waiting for the phone to ring I knew that this was not my reality.

I was simply living in a memory that had existed long before.

I liked this memory.

I could see no reason not to live here.

I'm a network administrator at a local real estate agency.

It's not a bad job. It certainly could be worse.

It's not the place I want to be though.

The place I want to be is with her.... holding her in my arms..... but she is gone.

Every night before I climb into my bed I close my eyes and think about her smiling face looking down at me.

I can feel the coldness of the night even though I know it is warm underneath the blankets.

Everyday is simply an empty trudge through my meaningless life.

Everything rests on getting home so nighttime can come and I can crawl into bed.

Taking off my clothes I turn off the light and walk slowly across the shag carpet.

I pull down the covers and the sheets and sit down on the bed for a moment just thinking about what her arms felt like.

Tucking myself in the bed I lay my head down on the pillow.

Soon I will be with her again if only for a few hours.

I never meant to live in the world of dreams.

I always meant to live in her world.

She is gone now but I can never really let her go.

Life is meaningless without her so I wait for her every night.

Every morning I get up and go through my meaningless trudge.

It doesn't matter though.

I know when nighttime comes I will be laying down with her in my dreams once more.
