Last night was one of the worst sleeping nights I've ever had.

Not because I was sleeping on someones couch in a new place, but because i couldn't breathe. The allergies are attacking me like no other this year. I have a stopped up nose, always running, and it feels like my lungs have been contracted.

Laughing just ends up in me having a coughing spit, and it's no fun.

Funny thing is though, I was able to dream for the first time in a long time last night.
Or, as far as I can remember.

and this may seem like a horny teenage boy talking for the next few paragraphs, but you'll get over it I'm sure.

There was this girl...and I met her by chance.
I was sitting down alone at some restaurant...I think.

She laughed at something I said, and I guess she was too bored with her table so she ended up walking over to me and sitting with me.

Black dress, and the weirdest thing, black hair...or atleast dark, and that's weird because I always seem to have a thing for blondes.
I couldn't tell you what orientation she was, mostly white, but there was something else there that I couldn't place.

I couldn't tell you what exactly happened, because I've already forgotten.
But I know there was conversation, and we were both happy.

I've never seen a girl like this in real life, but for some reason this felt more real than anything I've experienced with any other girl.

She was beautiful, and had a great smile.
I'll admit it when a girl has one of those smiles...I'm a sucker for a good one.

She was down to earth, but at the same time I just couldn't quite figure her out.

I woke up.

and I missed it.
Finally, when a girl comes along that I can just...be around...talk to...have conversation with and know there's something there. I lose her.

Oh well...it's only a dream right?

At the point of my waking up, I'm more worried about this cough that's killing me slowly, and I just want to go back to sleep. Took a good 5 minutes I think, but I did get to sleep.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you, but it's the weirdest thing.
and it took so long.

but she was back...different situation. I don't remember much.
But it was almost like she had never left, and that I was just watching a scene from a movie after jumping forward a few months/years.

She was there.
I was there.
She was beautiful.
and she was mine.

Eventually I would wake up again, and this time I wouldn't go back to sleep.

It was one of those things that only happens in movies.
Or I guess only in my dreams.

Things weren't perfect, but they just happened.
But it was real.

and I don't know why.

She is the girl of my dreams...and if she never goes away...then I don't ever want to be awake again.

Some day I'll find her...

Some day.
