It's a cool, cloudless evening, and the sky is full of stars. The air is dry, and you sit wrapped up in a blanket. It isn't really cold enough for it, but your boyfriend wanted the excuse to have you cuddle up to him, and you couldn't resist the eyes he gave you as he called you over. Now you're pressed up against each other, his arm over your shoulder, your head pressed into the crook of his neck. For a while you just sit there, comforted by the feeling of his chest rising and falling, by the way your breathing has fallen into the same rythm.
You're surrounded by him, by his smell, by his arms and for a second you feel overwhelmed by how you can be so happy together. You look up at him, smiling through warm, contented tears, and he kisses you gently on your forehead, turning to face you and stroking a hand through your hair. His eyes stare straight into yours, both pairs brimming over with a love for each other you can't express in words. Then, he pulls you closer, wrapping you up in his arms and whispering in your ear that he loves you more than he ever thought he could love anyone.
You don't wake up, anon. It's not a dream, like for a moment you think it could be. He loves you, you love him, and you can be together; happy, for just as long as you want.
It's not a dream, it's a future.
Don't give up hope.
