She

writers note: this story was based entirely on a dream, any resemblance to people either real or fictional was not intentional

it was the middle of the night when She came back to me. scratching at my window, She woke me from a deep sleep. i remember not the exact dream but rather the fact that She wasnt in it, perhaps for the first time since i had met her months ago.

i let her in through the back door, and she starts to cry. this is something ive only heard about, never seen and it breaks my heart. i try to brush away her tears, but they come too fast. embracing her, trying to take away her pain, to give her everything she wont ask for but needs.

slowly the tears stop, and her breathing quiets. when she is again able to speak, her only word is 'thanks'. a soft kiss shared in the glow of the moonlight through an open window says everything i need to know. she will be ok now, her demons have left her for the moment.

she goes as quickly as she came and i am left with the taste of her on my lips and a heart overflowing with the love i feel for her. but i know i will see her again soon, for she is always in my dreams.
