For example, the word you first curled up on my tongue

before it burst out into a whimper. Or when a sentence

such as I love you or I’m here would just come out without

even opening my mouth. Impossible, yes. As most

happenings in my dreams are. In the innocence of sleep,

I learned to play around our statements. When you said never

I knew you meant always and for every no an astounding yes.
