I went back.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdI3kbZ520
Again and again, I stood on a beach with soft white sand. The waves crashing against the reef echoed in my ears. The waving of coconut palms in harmony with the cool breeze.
Soon, the sun will set. Just like the dreams before. Like the days before. Like I've always seen.
From behind my back, joyous laughter sounded so blissful. Followed by grumpy shouts. Then continued with two sounds of laughter. Two people who were laughing ran on the white sand. Soft golden rays caressed the man's happy face.
I smiled. 180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbVGltoShR
The lady next to the man also smiled.

A voice called out to me. It snapped me out of my reverie. 180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU7oscXF5w
Now, the man was right in front of me. Smiling so beautifully that his eyes narrowed. Everything feels beautiful. The crashing waves, the sound of the gulls, the sun, the sea water. Everything about you, about your memories and us, everything will always be beautiful.
A drop of tear escaped from behind my black eyes.
I paused.
The dream was over and I woke up with a sense of emptiness and longing.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lKrKyivLY
I mumbled, "Sometimes, we love people like we love stars. Because we love them knowing we could never have them"
That man will always be happy in my dreams without the pain of the world and I will longer know him for what he used to be.
