I dream of him. Every night.
He enters my sleep like a sweet burn.
He doesn’t speak. He looks at me. He takes me. And I feel everything.
His hands. His skin. His breath. His weight.
When I wake up, the sheets are still wrapped around my thighs,
my throat is dry, my stomach tight with a delicious cramp that won’t go away.
He doesn’t exist. But my body doesn’t care.
My body knows him. My body craves him.
Again. And again.
I don’t understand. I’m going insane.
I search for him in other people’s eyes. In the streets.
I can still hear his voice I’ve never heard.
Smell his scent I can’t even name.
It’s an obsession.
An addiction.
A need stronger than reality.
And then one day… I see him.
I’m not asleep anymore.
But my body reacts like I still am.
And that’s when I know—
What I used to dream of… has just begun.
