the sweet dreams that we knew so well

The vague mists she had left behind were one thing. The world Rhyme brought with him seemed somehow more comporeal. Was this soft-as-dew green grass what his body lay upon, back in the world he had left behind? She pictured his form, curled up in a spot just to the side of her, sleeping, snoring softly in the rumble of a contented dream. Ah, why had he come here. He would break her heart anew. He spoke her name, his voice everything she remembered, and much that she had forgotten. It was husky with emotion, deep throated, and on the brink of tears. She felt the desire to collapse into his arms, to beg him to stay here with her, forever. To bring her back to the world she had left behind. She hadn't wanted to die, she didn’t feel she would ever be ready to move on. He stepped closer to her, and she was afraid that if he got close enough to touch, she would find his fur would move right through her. Reminding them both of the inevitable, that she was a ghost, and beyond the world he lived in. “I am always proud of our girls.” she whispered. That sounded like they were thriving, doing well. It soothed some of the ache in her heart and soul. At his next words, she took control of her fear, and moved closer. She moved a paw to cup under his chin. She expected, utterly expected, to pass through him. It caught her with some surprise when she touched him, as though she were as solid as he was. With this new founded strength and realism, she gently nudged his head upwards, to meet her eyes. “I’m not disappointed in you, Rhyme” she said softly. She kissed a tear beneath his right eye, her heart aching for him. “I’m sorry I wasn't there Rhyme. I’m so sorry, but I'm proud of you. You still have all four paws in the real world, and that’s where I need you to be” it hurt to say it. She wanted him at her side, so badly. “Our girls will need you for a lot longer yet, Abaven needs you. That's the dream we built, side by side. You haven’t let it go, have you?” she asked him softly. |
