Love In a Dream

Her eyes...He had never seen anything like them. They are now the sole reason he is living on though he would not hesitate a second before drowning in them. Oh! How she looks at him. Today she will be his. She has to be.

He opens his eyes and the pain sets in. A dull ache in his heart which he has been carrying for about an year now. Yes, it has been an year since she met him. She is a girl in his dreams and she is the girl of his dreams too. His days are now a long period of waiting for the night, for her to enter his dreams...

His friends laughed it off in the beginning for it was normal in that age for a young man to pine for a girl whom he met only in his dreams but slowly they were irritated by his lack of interest in anything else, astonished at the passion of his futile love and quite concerned when he told them he was leaving on a quest in search of this dream girl...

Seeking the unattainable has a few delights of its own. He travelled through many mystical lands, having many adventures. He felt that his life had a purpose now. He could spend an entire lifetime seeking out this girl. Each day the fire of passion consumed him. The more it consumed him the more he fuelled it by offering his mind and soul.The end justified the means and the means justified the end...

Then out of a sudden he meets her.She was waiting by a lake,she with her big blue eyes."I have been waiting for you for a long time," she said."Now take me home and make me yours."

They had a big wedding. His friends were happy but he was not. He stopped having the dreams the day he met her. There was no longer a purpose to his life. She was more real to him in the dreams. And he missed the dull ache in his heart. He knew what to do. Next day his friends found her dead and he was gone.

Her lips...He has never seen anything like them.They are now the sole reason he is living on though he knew that he would die from the sheer pleasure if they touched him. Oh! How she whispers to him. Today she will be his.She has to be.

He opens his eyes...
