dear sara,
i had a dream about you last night. it started in what seemed like a school assembly. everyone was talking, but i didn't know anyone. before it started, my mom walked down the isle and yelled to you. when she caught your attention, she pointed to me. you came over and sat next to me in the empty chair.
then it jumped to us in my bedroom. we were hugging forever and crying our eyes out. we sat down and you explained to me what happened. i listened, i understood, and i hugged you again.
then it jumped to my family room. the christmas stockings were hanging by the fireplace. you stood in front of it in little green shorts, a red t-shirt, and a santa hat. you were laughing, smiling; you were happy. i was taking a picture of you with my phone.
it was one of those dreams from which you don't want to wake. i was slowly rising from my sleep, and i tried to force myself to stay asleep - i didn't want to see you go. i wanted to keep your face in my mind forever. i didn't want to wake up to the reality of you not being around anymore.
when i get my license, i am coming to find you. the summer after our senior year. i will find you, and you will get that hug. i promise. i have to try; i just have to. it's my last chance.
your best friend,
lauren<3
