Love within a Notebook.

Smallish story I wrote. Self explanatory. Poem within a story. Waking in the morning to realize it was all a dream.

"My phone buzzes and lights up.

You finally messaged back. 

I smile and open it with a certain pleasure

Knowing that you feel just as I do, 

At least for now."

I scribbled that small-ish poem down in my notebook and flicked off the light, pleased that he'd finally returned my attention. 

It isn't as if I didn't try for months to make things right, but he'll never realize that. I actually read the message then, the cell phone's light nearly blinding me in the darkness of my room, 

"Eat the enemy's heart to gain their strength, don't even think about it. lol I can't wait to see your beautiful face." 

How amusing. You say funny, yet adorable things to me all the time. The smile I hold for you always comes out, but you're much too far away to see it.   What a shame. 

How long will this distance hold us apart? 

When will I finally be within reach to finally be held by you? 

Is it too much to ask to want this closeness?

"The sun rises and the room fills with light.

I reach for you with no success. 

Our relationship was once again nothing but a dream,

And my joys experienced, a momentary sensation."

Laying my pen and notebook back onto the night stand, I come to terms with the reality that you were never mine and that "we" were just a dream as we always had been. Another disappointed morning as I wake without you, but at least "we" exist in the poem inside this notebook, a film I can replay as many times as I wish in my mind. 

Maybe one day you'll be mine.

It is a sweet and sad piece... when dreams break and its time for reality check, things can be painful... what a way to bring about it..Good job :)

This bittersweet piece is very well written, and i like how this all revolves around the notebook. The format you chose made ths very unique and it draws the reader into the scenario that you have created. Sometimes its better to just create something that we can review when we need to. Brilliant write
