I had a dream that I was strapped to the hospital bed
via heart monitor patches and a couple of short IVs.
I was staring at the ceiling of the room,
thinking of what time really was,
when I heard a double tap from the doorway.
I looked up and it was you standing there,
leaning casually,
smiling.
You strolled in and sat down and
the heart monitor missed a few beats
and we both chuckled nervously at it.
We exchanged hellos before you asked me
what was happening.
I told you about
the doctors confusion at my symptoms of cancer
without the cancer.
How they'd told me I had a weak heart,
and they really didn't know what to do about it.
You took my hand in yours
and cared
and I looked at you
and cried.
I cried so hard that I woke myself up,
and I sat in bed crying,
because I knew that even if I did somehow
end up in the hospital with a grim looking future,
you wouldn't come, and
you definitely wouldn't care.
i like the cranberries.
no, this is not fiction.

Sitting here looking at the text box and listening to music for 30 minutes trying to think of a comment. Wow.

Guess there's not much to say, or I just can't put it into words, but yeah I think anyone can relate to that feeling. The dream, tho...ow.
