he awakes...though he hasn't truly slept in weeks.."just lay here, no need to get up...just stay in bed" whispers a soft voice inside his head. he rolls over pulling the comforter up over his head and buries his face in the pillow...waiting,just waiting...."get up!!! you can't just lay in bed all day...you have to be strong, strong for her!" screams a voice inside his heart....he jumps up to a sitting position..."i know" he growls in a low tone..he wants to cry, but he shrugges the feeling off..."that won't help anyway" he sighs...."i don't have time for that....i have to hurry". he jumps to his feet....thinking to himself "i have to hurry..i don't want to be late..i have hurry so then i can wait"
....he awakes with a start...beads of sweat roll down his fore head.....white ceiling tiles come in to focus....."uuuggg" a moan escapes him...he rolls over..the bed is empty...she isn't there..she never was.."and she never will be.." he sighs...he had always been alone...even surrounded by others..he was still alone..."they don't know the real me" he thinks to himself...only in his dreams did he ever find rest...he pulls the covers up over his head..."sleep" he says..."if happiness is to be found only in dreams"..."then i will sleep until i forget that the waking world is even real"...his eyes close..."come find me" he whispers...
