Midnight Signals

Slow Me

For 3 or 4 nights in a row I had vivid dreams about you. Just hanging out or talking. The second to last one, I was chasing you through a labyrinth where you kept leaving me little clues until I found you. A tall and wide concrete maze of rooms and hallways lit by flat panel florescent lights. Clusters of people here and there dressed in Sunday clothes.. or maybe business attire. The lower floors is where I followed you to, where the dress was more casual and the large foyers more dimly lit and vaguely smelled of smoke and herbs. Laying across a dark sofa, a small figure in black clothing. I crept up and called your name softly, "is that you?"

"No"

"Oh, sorry"

"That's okay, I'm not mad at you"

But of course it was you. I gave an uncertain, dopey smile, and you smiled back before I woke up.

The last dream we said goodbye. You drove up to my house, and we hugged and chatted in the driveway. All smiles and laughs. You said you were going on a long trip and didn't know if or when you'd be back. I wished you luck.
