The Girl I Love is Just a Dream

          “I love you. I really do,” Clara said.

          “I love you too Clara. I mean it,” I replied while smiling.

          “But you know that I don't exist.”

          “No, Clara. You exist.”

          “Yes but in your dream. I'm just a dream, Anthony.”

          “Then I will never wake up if this is just a dream. I don't really want to wake up.”

            She give me a small smile. “Anthony, please wake up. We can't be together forever. I only exist in your dreams.”

          “Clara, I don't want to. I want to be with you forever.”

          A tear fell from her left eye. “I know, but we can't be. I have only five minutes more to live and after that, I'll be forever gone.”

         I run towards her and hug her. “Then let me hug you for the last time,” I said as I feel my tears falling.

         After five minutes, she slowly fade and left me broken. I just hope when I wake up I'll find my own Clara, not just a dream.

          I woke up because of a voice waking me up. I was shocked when I saw her face.

          “C-Clara?” She's a nurse.

          She was shocked. “H-How did you know my name?”

          “Well, you were in my dream.”

          She just give me a smile.

          I courted her for at least three months and we've been in a relationship for five years. Now, I'm gonna marry a lady I first love in a dream. People may not believe in our story but we both know that our love is real. Now I know what she meant she'll be gone forever, that forever is only in a dream. Clara, the girl I love is just a dream. But that dream came true.
