Dreams

– No!!!
– Are you sure??,
– Yes. I am.
– But why?
– Because I don’t want to.
– Tell me. What is it that you fear?
– I fear that I’d lose you.
– Why on earth do you think that? We have been seeing each other for 2 years now. The least you can do is trust me.
– It’s not about trust.
– Then? What’s it about? Tell me!
– I dream.
– So?
– You don’t understand. Things that I dream come true eventually.
– Yes. I know that.
– You do? Then why are you asking me to be with you forever?
– What you have is a gift. And I’ll accept you with your gifts as well, no matter what!
– No. Why aren’t you listening? It’s not a gift. It’s a curse. Because I have never dreamt about good things. All I see is destruction, endings and death.
– No. You dream about reality. You dreamt about the mass killings in Kashmir, You dreamt about the horrors of Syria, long before it happened!
– Wait? How do you know all these? I have never told anyone.
– I just know. But you can see good things in your dream if you try.
– No!!! I can’t. It’s been two years! I’ve tried. Believe me I’ve tried. But I just can’t.
– Yes you can! And you can also have me. No more destruction, No more death! Just you and me.
– How do you know that?
– Because darling, you are dreaming right now. I am nothing but an illusion. You just have to let go of your life. Then you will be inside your dreams. With me. Forever!
