Movies in My Mind

I make movies in my mind, or they write themselves in my sleep. In one of them I see you smiling, coming into the bedroom as I wake up. I ask you about some nonsense and you laugh. You pick up something and glance at me as you step into the bathroom.

In another I lie on your lap as you gaze in the distance, not sure if we were on a beach or some park but we were alone in a world of strangers.

It's when I open my eyes that the reality of our distance hits me. Not just the distance across the world but the distance of our worlds.

It is sweet to imagine living in the movies in my mind, even if reality alway comes to wake me up. In these movies you are as close to me as reality.
