Dream (n) - A series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep

I feel you by my side, just you being there makes me smile. I don't know how you've managed to bring back a part of me I thought was gone. I look at you and our eyes meet, theres something between us. A secret, an energy. Two worlds collide between us, two completely different lives and backgrounds. I know nothing about you, I feel you know everything about me. Sometimes it feels like you can read my thoughts. You make me nervous, even more insecure than i ever was. You're in control here, I'm not used to that, I'm not sure where anything is going, and you won't answer me straight. You keep me guessing.
I've been floating through the weeks, time passes without anything to remember it by other than memories of you. It's business as usual, but I'm not concentrating on the work I've got. I'm thinking about what you said to me last night, about the way being around you made me feel. I don't think we have anything in common, but I trust you without any logical explanation. I'd do almost anything you asked of me, because I know you'll pay me back somehow. My mind is completely wrapped up in you, but I don't know if you're even real.

Drop (v) - Allow oneself to fall

I stand with you on the edge. You've saved me from myself and together we're running from what I've left behind. My demons. Through cities and woods, through night and day, we ran. You never let me go. You never broke a promise. They followed us and you could have left me to them. You could have let them return me to my prison, but you never let me go.
We kept going for days, months, I never thought we were getting anywhere but finally we came to the edge. A long drop with a watery landing. The sun is rising over the horizon and you hold my hand tighter. I can't do it, I can't let myself fall, it's too dangerous. I start to pull back and you turn to me, there's nothing for me to be scared of, you won't let anything happen to me. You can't say the same about staying where we are, I could still fall back into what I used to be. You surprised me, I never thought you would be doing this for me, I never believed that you of all people could care about me this much. There isn't time to think about what to choose. There isn't even a choice to be made, only one path has beauty and light, the other is dark, damp, and full of misery.
I close my eyes. There's only seconds left. I feel your hand squeeze mine, you're speaking but I can't understand the words... Fear is taking over me. You step closer to the edge and I follow. There's no looking back now.
