Polar Bear. Thank you, but I Prefer Vampires.

I found you in a dream again, as our souls do often.

Immediately I felt whole, as if just the metaphysical presence of you is what I have been lacking all this time. We were lounging on a couch watching a movie, as if this was our typical Friday night. I could never tell you what movie, I was and am still too wrapped up in you to notice. I can still see the surprise on your face as the haze dissipated and we realized this dream shouldn’t be possible. Our fingers intertwined and the warmth we could feel radiating off of each other should never have even existed.

Your eyes, whether brown, blue or grey I can’t remember. It was more the feeling that came from them, safe, whole and complete. Your words still resonate within my head at times,

“I will find you, just tell me where.”

It was as if the universe was against us, we couldn’t tell each other how to find one another, it was frustrating and I could feel my heart begin to drop.

“What if we never find each other,” my question hanging heavily between us.

Your answer was simply to brush your fingertips across my cheek and shake your head no, “The world could never be that cruel when it knows we will never give up.”

I could feel myself begin to immaterialize. The dream I wanted to last forever was fading fast.

“When we do meet, how will we ever know this wasn’t just a dream but our souls truly finding each other?” My voice broke as these words formed from what was left of me.

Our eyes refusing to meet just stared at the hands we still had intertwined between us. Your laugh, oh how I will never forget this laugh as you whisper to me, “When I find you I will simply say… Polar Bear. To answer just say to me… Thank you, but I prefer Vampires.”
