I woke to a hollowing ache inside as they told me of an infinite universe. Of parallels and perpendiculars and a destiny to love. Stories and worlds untold and as it unfolds…
I am lost.
They asked if I believed in reincarnation. I laughed. They were serious. Perhaps? Maybe? How could I know? They told me that a heart lives a thousand lives. Each time the heart seeks the same soul. Sometimes it finds them. Sometimes they find it. Sometimes they never find eachother.
But the saddest of all, my friend, the one that aches the most- the heart and soul are born into different lives, different lines ; not parallel but perpendicular; a single point where they meet and become one, only to be lost as they travel along into the void.
They asked if I understood.
I told them it was only a dream.

I woke to a hollowing ache inside.

Not based on a dream, but on an idea inspired by the way I dream. Sometimes I wake up with a terrible sense of loss- a magnitude I've never experienced in life and still I feel it all the same. I sometimes find that I've been crying in my sleep.
I don't know why.
But I hope this isn't it.
