Funny thing about dreams and memories; sometimes it’s difficult to tell them apart. Sometimes I just don’t want to.

That summer …. after the breakup …. I needed to be alone …. to think …. to put the hurt behind me. A few days at that motel on the beach seemed like a good idea at the time. 

Everywhere I walked …. everything I saw …. reminded me of you. The scent of salt water. Scattered shells and seaweed. That song. Hot summer nights. Stars so close you could touch them.

Memories and dreams of you …. they’re funny that way.
