Just something I thought of...

Oh yeah..just wanted to say that this is dedicated to Vicki..it's meant to be her 'prize' for guessing the changes correctly..so yeah.


I dreamed a dream today.

It was just me again, lying in the grass, staring at the clouds. Somehow I knew that this dream would be different from the ones that I’d had before. But right now, everything looked the same. It was still just me, lying in the grass, staring at the clouds. It wasn’t until I felt someone, rather some people lay down next to me that I realised what was different.

I wasn’t alone this time.

They all turned to smile at me and I gave them a gentle smile of my own. Their presence seemed to resonate throughout my soul and I could feel the beginnings of a large smile on my lips. The ten of us lay on the grass, staring at the clouds, sometimes pointing at some cloud shaped object and asking each other what we could see. I stayed quiet, content to listen to them ramble on about nonsensical things, until someone elbowed me, signaling that they’d asked me a question. I cocked my head to the side and asked them what the question was. They pointed to the lone cloud in the sky.

“What do you think it looks like?”

I looked at the fluffy, white blob, trying to decipher what it could possible represent. It wasn’t until a few minutes later when I noticed everyone looking at me expectantly that I realised what it was. I chuckled to myself and flopped back on the grass. Everyone sighed and did the same.

“It’s friendship.”

And at that moment, we all understood that this was what friendship was. Being able to feel at ease in each other’s company, being able to express what we wanted without fear that someone would laugh. This was friendship. Total and unconditional love for each other.

And I realised that I never wanted to wake up from this dream.
