You know
I had the strangest dream last night
A dream that I met a girl online
All the way from halfway across the world
Someone who I had never seen in my entire life
Someone who I never spoke with
Someone who I never even knew existed
Literally halfway across the earth
Seven-billion people on this planet
And for whatever reason
For whatever purpose
For whatever cause
We started talking one day in the dream
Well...messaging
And messaging...
And messaging...
At first in the dream, it was basic questions
Like where we were from
What we enjoyed doing
How we came to meet
It seemed like she had a million questions for me
It was almost overwhelming
Considering at this point in our relationship I was rather closed off
I even made a silly joke in the dream that she should be a reporter
From all the answers I had to constantly come up with
I remember quite clearly that she found that funny
As time went on in the dream, I slowly opened up to her
Like a flower blooming in the spring
One day she eventually convinced me to do a picture swap
And so I did
I sent her an old picture of my junior year high school photo
She told me that she was surprised
As I didn't resemble the negative attributes and aura that I had built online
And that I looked like a soft, gentle soul
At the time I didn't believe her
But I decided to keep this developing friendship going
As time went on in the dream, I started getting more comfortable with this girl
I began sending her silly videos of me that would make her laugh
At least those were the kinds of messages I'd get back from her
At this point, the two of us were now messaging on a daily basis
Yet sometimes we'd be in different time zones and would have to reply later
Considering she and I were on the opposite side of the world
Keep in mind we never once verbally talked with one another in the dream
Not a single time
No live communication
We did send each other audios or random, joking videos
I teased her when I heard her strong accent
She told me she hated her accent
But even though I teased her, I assured her that it really wasn't that bad
