Dream
I’m at this American style restaurant in apparently Long, Massachusetts near where my college is. I’m with my old lover and his friends, hanging out like we used to. I play a weird hand-held board game thing about prison escape and I do okay. He tells me how to play since he loves games. He gives me space to sit next to him, which I enjoy. There are two other girls there who are going to our school next year and they express enthusiasm to us, I feel comfortable around them because his group is usually mostly men. We have to return after this meal to go to graduation. I look outside while standing on a chair and say “wow the view is incredible, look!” and it is, there are red and green trees and there’s a beautiful, vast but still shimmering lake. I run outside and lay in the grass, weary at first of dog poop but I’m fine. I watch the beautiful mountain nearby the lake but slightly in the distance, and the gorgeous stream of water that falls beside it. I smile, taking pictures and laying alone. Then I’m joined by the others. My old lover calls me beautiful laying there. Everyone decides it’s time to go back for graduation.
