A dream they once had of you

"She used to dream of you in the late hours when the world softened - - not in a grand way, but in quiet moments: watching you fumble with a lighter in the dark, laughing at something she barely heard but memorized the sound of. You were always just outside reach, as if the dream couldn’t quite hold you, but she remembered the way you looked at her - - like she had already become part of your story. She dreamed you’d choose her, even when you didn’t know it yet. That you’d wake up one day and just know."

She never told you this, not directly.
But it stayed -- like dust on windows no one’s opened in years.
