Imagine...for once....
A new life. Another dream.
You feel warm. You feel the warmth of the day on your face. It is light now. The sunlight is licking your cheeks like your pet dog. Making you feel wet with warmth, with love, with the day.
Your blanket feels snug over your naked skin. Like a cocoon, like your mother's womb. You just part your eyes for a second, the light hurts your eyes, you shut them again. Your hands snake towards the other pillow. Searching.
Your fingers find what you were searching for. Your beloved, still asleep.
You move closer, snuggle up under the blanket...prop your head up on your elbows. Lovingly, you look into your beloved 's face. With a careful hand you play with your beloved hair...and smile to yourself. How you wish the moment to last for 'forever'. You know, you are having a dream. You want the dream to last for 'forever'.
You smile again. You look outside. Your dream world. You see clouds. You see..life. You see..your dream. Your look at your beloved again. You bend over to reach the lips and you kiss your love. You kiss for a moment. you wish again, this moment lasts 'forever' . You kiss again, you fear the dream will end soon
.'Forever' these days is not what it used to be back then. 'Forever', these days lasts not that long.
....
At this point of time, your beloved wakes up. Asks you, if you are alright..You try to say yes, but you cant. You want to just look into your beloved' s eyes 'forever'. But you are running out of time. Your beloved fails to understand. Looks at you with confused eyes. Your face shows your fear of losing your perfect life.
You run out of the room, into the sun outside. You search for some reassurance from the sun that your dream has yet to end. You ...find the sun setting.
You feel your legs give way under you..you fall to your knees and see your sun setting.
Your 'forever' has come to an end.
And with a start you wake up from your dream.
Tears in your eyes, hurt in your heart and nothing in your hand.
Nothing to hold on to.
Later..
Imagine this in terms of "I" and see the difference, or rather the similarity.
