And there I picture us, in my head, like a series of fleeting Polaroids, snapshots of evanescent moments. All the long repetitive talks in the car, all the songs that made us cry, all the feelings so volatile, so fragile, it all comes back to haunt me at night. And when I drift off, I see your face, and hear your voice. I know the things you would say, and the things you would do, and it's as if you're alive inside my head, like you actually do exist in my dreams, like you're within me.
You've been in my dreams for months. However, I am a lucid dreamer, and I believe a very good one at that. Most lucid dreamers are only capable of being aware that they're dreaming, but I am able to control the things, the environment, the person I would dream about. I picture and play pretend in my head, allowing my imagination to take over, pretending I'm really there, and I drift off right into that imagination. The irony is that, if I actually wanted to dream about you, I would be aware that the dream, is a dream.
Let the sad memories burn, and leave those smiling with me. Of all the times you thought it was silly of me to take random moments with you down(without actually including you or me in the picture), of Federal Highway at night, of football advertisements in Midvalley, of starless, dark skies, of the back of your car, of our shadows merged as one, of the bottles of McCallan's we've drunk - those are perfect split-seconds of my life I will never forget.
