I loved her the way the sun loves summer, its light reaching for flowers to make each one bloom.
I always reached for her as if she were the one who could bring meaning to my sorry life.
The only problem? I knew her only through the dreams I had in slumber’s embrace.
I craved sleep just for the chance to see her again.
It wasn’t a healthy obsession, but I had always been the heartsick type.
I didn’t ever hope for more.
Until the day I saw her waiting at the bus stop.
I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
