The worst dream I never had. |

So, I had a dream.
I woke up, on the floor, in a room that wasn't mine, but I knew I had to hurry, or else I would be late. So I got dressed, brushed my teeth, combed my hair and went out the door...
Then, I woke up, on the floor, in a room that wasn't mine, but I was in a hurry. So i got dressed, brushed my hair, combed my teeth and went out the door...
Then, I woke up, picked up my phone, looked at the time and read "6:23 AM", so I closed my eyes and lay my head back down on the pillow. Minutes later, the alarm on my phone started ringing. I got up off the floor, checked my back pack, got dressed, brushed my teeth and just as I was about to comb my hair, I hesitated. I looked around a moment and realized this wasn't my bathroom. I looked at my arm and it still looked a bit fuzzy.
I reached down and pinched myself on the arm. I felt something I had never felt in my dreams before when I pinched myself; pain. I stepped out of the bathroom and returned to my back pack. I entered the room I had been sleeping in and saw a tiny bed in one corner of the room. I folded up the blankets on the floor to one side of the room, and then walked over to the bed.
I leaned over and peered into the blankets to find a young woman sleeping there. I kneeled down and placed a kiss on her cheek. She woke up and reached out for me, pulling me down into a hug. She kissed my cheek and I said a goodbye. I started to pull back a bit and she reached up again to touch my shirt, adjusting the collar.
I told her that it was time for me to go and she pulled me into another hug, which I gladly obliged. I kissed her forehead gently, catching the scent of her hair and she let me go. I exited the room, grabbed my bag and headed out the door.
I eventually wound up back in my bed, in my own room, lying in total darkness. I propped the side of my head up with one arm. I reached out for a hand that wasn't there; I leaned down to kiss a cheek that wasn't there; I shared a blanket with someone who wasn't there.
That's when I realized: it's not that she wasn't here. It's that I was no longer there.
