Dreams vs. Reality
I dreamt of you again today...
You had fallen into the ocean, and I knew you weren't able to swim. Even though the waves were rough, I jumped in with no hesitation to save you, but the waves started taking you further away.
You kept gasping for air as you tried to keep yourself afloat, but I was so determined and desperate to save you that I fought my own dream, and somehow forced the waves to bring you closer to me.
When I finally had you at arms length, I held you close to my chest as you held on to me just as tightly. I was able to mutter the words, "I'm so sorry...", but the dream was abruptly cut short. I wake up covered in sweat, and my eyes become blurry with tears.
In the end, I couldn't save you, and the guilt continues to consume me to this day.
