Dreaming of You
It has been a while since you made your presence known in my dreams, both daytime and nighttime.
For several years, my world revolved around you and I often wondered then on how my life was before I met you and on how my life would become without you.
You always had the perfect timing. You were always there at the right time and at the right moment.
You came into my life when I needed the fantasy. My reality then was too sterile and undead, hence it was the perfect time to be trapped in a fantasy. That fantasy world helped me survive the monotony of my real life. It enabled me to discover and experience so many precious things.
And then, just when I thought that serendipity was merely a word, you turned around and saw me at the perfect moment. You arrived at the exact moment when I was coincidentally at the same place.
But the passage of time is indeed very fickle. As in all things, the perfect time for that fantasy world to burst came. While I was largely unprepared, I recognized the signs. Signs of the end of another era.
And just like it had always been, you left my life at the right moment when I needed reality.
In the blink of an eye, it was over. I felt refreshed. I never knew that being in that kind of world trapped me. Nevertheless, I would never regret being trapped in that world with you. You brought the perfect combination of dreams and reality.
And now, I dreamed of you again. While in the past, such dreams would often bring a certain kind of wistfulness and giddiness, now, I just feel contented. Contented with my memories of you. Contented with my occasional glances.
I know that I will always owe my sanity to you for those 4 hazy years. But after emerging from the haze of my fantasy world, I discovered that my new world has now brightened a bit. I'm sure you'll be more than happy to know that while I enjoyed the haziness of the fantasy, I am now welcoming my bright and crisp future. A future that no longer revolves around you but a future that will always be influenced by my past with you.
It was nice seeing you again in my dreams, ZaiZai.
