The Dream Catcher (Part2)

Our last meet-up was last eight (8) weeks ago at exactly 3:05 a.m.

We had a very abrupt time together. Since then, I had been experiencing difficulty in catching my dream.

God knew how I prayed and wished to have longer hours with her. Until last night, when I thought I was able to meet her again.

I saw her standing near the valley. I was afraid with her position. Immediately, I ran after her. I called her name. She did not respond nor give a look. I whispered her name again but this time I made sure that my breath touched her ears. I closed my eyes as I embraced her. I was surprised that she did not do anything.

I let it for a moment.

I so missed her.

I spent this time as if this would be the last.

She sobbed.

The sounds of her cry were like knives pushing through my chest.

“Why?” I asked.

“I am so tired. I've been here for almost two (2) summers ago.”

Though confused, I did not open my eyes.

I counted the days when we last met.

I tried to remember the “summer” term’s meaning.

Summer means years.

“I almost lost my hope of seeing you again. I thought the perfect match was not perfect at all. Gabriel, I am so tired with this set up. I almost killed by solitude. ”

Shocked, I snappishly took my arms.

“WHO ARE YOU?”

Both of us were stunned.
