What Dreams Are For

 * Days before you passed, your colleagues said you were being sentimental and wondered if people would still remember you even when you are gone. I hope you've found the answer to your question now. Written: 01/13/2025*

It was December 30th.

2 months after you passed on.

You appeared in my dreams.

We talked like old friends.

We were smiling and laughing.

And then all of sudden, I realized that you were already gone.

So I took the opportunity to tell you what I never had the chance to say.

I told you I was sorry and that I really loved you back then. That I hope you had forgiven me for causing you pain.

You told me that I did not have to apologize and that you were really sorry too.

You said that what we had was real. 

That you never really stopped loving me. 

And this time around, I finally believed you. 

Thank you for allowing me to heal and for giving me the closure that I never knew I needed after all these years. 

You may be gone but you are never forgotten. 

I will always remember you in the songs that you used to sing,

And in the music that you have shared with me, once upon a time. 

From now on, I will think of you fondly and storm the heavens with prayers for your eternal peace.
