i wish i could tell you how it all started. we were alone. i was on one end of the room, fully clothed. she was on the other, completely naked. i was wearing an ugly sweater, skinny jeans, glasses, and a pair of black dr. martens. she was wearing nothing. nothing but a necklace with a golden cross. i could see her panting. i could feel her veins pulsating, as if they were my own. she looked just like me. the same round eyes, button nose, pink lips. her hair was long. mine was short. she looked up at me. her eyes glowed and the light in them pierced mine. the light took it's ride down my body through every bone and muscle. in that moment, i felt peace. i felt joy and i felt hope. she looked at me again and said, "don't forget me." i woke up. i woke up to nothing but silence and darkness. it was 3:34AM and i swore that i would never forget her.
