A Dream

He stared at me with those blank eyes. And the music started. We began dancing just like in an Elementary Physical Fitness in an open-field. I didn't know the dance. He too. I just tried to follow what my classmates are doing but he was helpless.

When the music started to end, rain fell. All the others held their umbrellas and made a formation. I didn't know what to do until one of my friends shouted "Katong mga walay payong, dagan mo sa tunga". I did what she said. While I was running towards the center, I saw him...still clueless of what was happening. I suddenly changed direction. I was running towards him. I wanted to help him.

When I finally reached him, I grabbed his right wrist. I wanted to bring him along with me to the center. His hand slipped and in a second, I felt our hands held tightly just like how lovers hold theirs. Hand in hand we ran. It was like heaven. I wished the feeling would not end. I felt secured, loved and cared by him. I didn't want to let go of his hand. He held my hand real tight.

Reaching the center he said, "I can do this if I have you!" I didn't know what to feel.

We stopped running and find ourselves in the middle of the ballroom dance floor, dancing a sweet, romantic tune. I rested my head on his shoulder. I felt his warmth. He held on me tight.

I wanted to see his face so I pulled my head back. He gave me one deceiving smile...the smile I really missed. He whispered, "I missed you." I just smiled back.

A moment after, I find myself in bed. It was just a dream...a really wonderful dream. Indeed, I miss him..I miss my best friend so much!!! I tried to get back to sleep hoping that I will be dreaming the same dream. But I didn't.


I want to dance with him. I want to see him. I miss him!!!
