this dream i had.

we were in an aquarium. there were 3 of us. you, Jackson and me.

as the 3 of us were walking around, getting all excited; i grabbed your wrist exclaiming happily, "look here! this is such an extraordinary fish!" you smiled at me and said nothing. while the 2 of us were engrossed looking at what they called an angel fish; Jackson, who was at the other end of the room shouted," Hey! i'll be here!"

"ok!" you replied as you glanced past ur shoulder, while my eyes were still peeled on the fish tank.

as i watch the angel fishes gracefully 'talking' to each other with their gentle little movements in the water, you suddenly tugged me away from where i was, exclaiming, " you have to see this."

HOwever, this time, you grabbed me- by my fingers. as our fingers met, u gave me a slight squeeze, ensuring that you got me close by ur side. my heart skipped a beat.

you led me over to an array of fish tanks of different shapes and sizes, filled with many tetra swimming together in schoals, as i exclaimed at the sight i had, i just couldn't help but realised that u were still holding on to my hand. you didn't let go; i didn't want to let go either. i've been dreaming of this moment for a really long time, it just didn't seem quite real to me just as yet.

so as both of us bent down, peering into the fish tanks-taking a closer look, thoughts of what you were thinking kept running thru my mind: did you notice you were still holding on to me? or were you engross in the pretty fishes that you didn't noe you were still holding on to me?

"hey guys!" Jackson called, as he walked over.

You turned around and said " yea?", still holding on to my fingers.

" time we have to leave, man.."

" what time is it?" you asked while you stod up straight, i was trying to tip toe, hoping u didn't notice our difference in height- that you would have realised you were holding my hand, so that you wouldn't let go.

" it's 2. we have to leave, come on." Jackson said as he turned around and walk towards the door that had an "EXIT" sign above it.

you looked at me in the eye, gave me an even tighter squeeze, winked, smiled at me and said, "lets go, baby."
