For the first time in years…a dream and might I say, one I will kill thousands just to go back to.

I'm yet to get used to these emotions…the feelings that are constantly bubbling up inside me. It used to be whenever she was close by…but yesterday, I felt something…unease, even when she was not beside me or in sight.
Could it be that I'm getting better? Becoming like everyone else?
I stirred awake with my arm still curled around nothing, fingers flexed in the ghost of her shape.
For one stupid heartbeat I thought maybe she’d just slipped to the bathroom. Maybe she was getting water. Maybe…
