JUST A FEW GOOD YEARS LEFT

I hear writing things down is good for people who are forgetful... at least I think that's what they said.

I had the best dream I’ve ever had last night… I don’t often remember dreams but this one stuck. You and I were watching a movie in a park during one of those summertime events, the movie itself was a jumbled mess of random events from my subconscious but for some reason it seemed to make sense. After all of these years I mustered the courage to actually try… I reached for your hand and to my surprise you wrapped your fingers around mine. Shock and elation washed over me and after a few minutes of contemplating my next move I reached to run my fingers through your hair. You giggled in a way only you know how to and pulled away saying you didn’t want me to mess up your hair, but your eyes looked so happy. I couldn’t stop myself. I had to kiss you. I leaned in and your lips touched mine… Something I’d only dreamed of for years, this couldn’t be real could it? It was in the same moment the most delicate and intense kiss I think any person could ever hope to be a part of. Exactly how I’d imagined it would be.

At this point I realize I’m not in the real world, but I couldn’t leave it. I stayed there in that dream, high off of that moment.

8 weeks ago I drilled the first hole… It’s been a long road but I think it paid off
