Dream

I haven't remembered a dream since the last one I journaled, so here… I'm going to try a thing I just now made up. I'm going to write a pre-dream journal, a log of what I want to dream of tonight. Try to prime the old brain for it or something. Yeah, I dunno. Can't hurt, right? lol

Tonight… I plan to dream of that night we were in my car together all those years ago, back when this was “just” a crush (but was it… really?). Except instead of just a few minutes down the road to go fetch your spare key, we'll just… drive off together into the night. Destination? Wherever we land.

And as the freeway rolls below us, out there beyond the city lights, with Nightcall playing quietly on the stereo, there'll be a lull in the conversation… and I'll look away from the road just long enough to glance over and see you looking back at me… love shining in your eyes like I have never seen before…

And then I'll take my hand from the wheel, and reach over to hold yours, resting on the center console. And we'll stay like this for a while… quiet, just… enjoying the touch, savoring it after having yearned for it for so, so long… before I'll lift your hand to my mouth and kiss it, first the back… closing my eyes for just a moment as my lips touch your skin for the very first time… and I'll breathe in the scent of you… then kiss the tips of each of your fingers…

And from there… well, I guess from there I'll see where the dream takes me…

Goodnight, my star. I love you.

PS — I dunno if that's the best choice of songs, it's a bit on the dark side… but I often think of it when I'm driving at night, thinking of you… it's a mood, you know? lol.

Yours,
