Oh! So That's What a Blinker Looks Like! - Millie

Does distance really make the heart grow fonder?

or does it just make the heart forget the things it does not like?

The thing is, I have never had anything I did like about .J.

I think I just got scared. I didn't really every stop liking him.

But last night... I had a dream. I know kind of silly, but still.

In my dream:

The Car drove along at a constant speed, down the straight road. There was no need for him to look at the road. He knew where he was going.

A Friend sat in the back seat, looking out the window.

I looked down at my hands. I wished that I could hold his. But he is not here yet, he was still serving his mission.

I put my hand close to his, but where he could not reach it. In between my seat and the arm rest between our seat.

He glanced down at my hand, then smiled and looked back at the road.

"You know I can't hold your hand right now." he said.

I smiled at him, kind of sadly, but still happy, because he would be back soon.

He took his eyes from the road and looked at me.

After a few moments he said, "I love you."

I put my head into my hands, feeling the tears come.

I didn't say I loved him. I had never even told him that I liked him, yet he still loved me.

He never took his eyes off of me, but silently took my hand. I look up at him, the love obvious in my eyes.

My friend suddenly pulled himself forward between the seats,

"Did you know that .J. is home now?" he said cheerily before sitting back in his seat and looked out the window again.

I beamed, and happily looked at .J. He looked at me and I whispered...

Then the dream changed, and I don't remember what it changed too. something about a broom and a wooden leg.

Do you think dreams can tell us things? I think so, but we have to ask what.

Some dreams are just that, dreams and have no real meaning.

But some are more. Some are meant for you to understand something, to give you hints.

maybe this is a hint for me. maybe it was just a dream.

or maybe...

"A dream is a wish your heart makes, when it's fast asleep. In dreams you lose your heartaches, Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come smiling thru. No Matter how your heart is grieving If You keep on believing The Dream that Wish Will come True."

"I know you! I walked with you once upon a dream! I know you, the gleem in your eyes is so familiar a gleem! And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem! But If I know you, I know what you'll do, you'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream."
