"Dear....Let's Dream"

My dear, before the world shatters our dreams, let’s continue dreaming within the dream. In hundreds of nightmares, the dream of us being together would make me fearless, even though I am frightened by all worldly dreams. All the abstract things that look at me would affirmatively present me as a dreamer. The moon, the stars, and the nights push me to dream—dreams of beauty amidst the scattered ugliness.

When you walked past me, it never felt like a dream. You slowly became a dream in my life, my dear—the dream I want to bring to reality. But this dream is shielded by all the uncertainties, jewelled with different nightmares. Keep visiting me in my dreams, as it won’t harm my waking life. There, we would meet and dream together.

Sometimes, I see death in my dreams. Every time I find death standing near me, coldness is felt, and the life I’ve lived flashes in front of my eyes. Death is so kind, as it returns with the simple reminder: dream, my dear, as much as you can before I come to take you forever—not in a dream.
