Standing at chin height, I can feel the gentle, rhythmic beat of her heart as I hold her ever closer to my chest. My hands encircle her form, tracing the contours and sensing the rise and fall of each breath. In this intimate connection, I sense a profound attachment that goes beyond the physical, intertwining our minds as well. It’s a sensation I never want to release. Looking down at her tender, pale features, a smile graces my lips; here lies the embodiment of my dreams, someone I am unwilling to let slip away.

Slowly, my fingers begin to trace the curves of her right cheek in a loving, circular motion. The texture of her skin rivals the purest silk, its softness akin to the finest felt. With gentle strokes, I savor the sensation, each pass imbued with increasing ardor.

Locked in a shared gaze, it’s as if we traverse into another realm, a profound, almost spiritual embrace. Her eyes, deep and pure, unveil a tapestry of complexity and depth, a constant source of wonder that captivates my thoughts. As my focus sharpens, I discern a lighter hue within her irises, forming the delicate silhouette of a sunflower. With every passing second, the floral impression within her eyes unfurls, petals of perfection blossoming in succession. Lost in her gaze, I can’t help but smile, ensnared by my own imagination, enveloped in love and a sense of belonging.

Then it transpires—an instant of brilliance. As if the heavens themselves part, and the very creator gazes upon us in awe. A simple movement of her lips, a subtle gesture: a smile. To most, this might signify little, but from her, it unveils her true beauty, an effusion of happiness radiating from a singular source. In that fleeting moment, I am at my most vulnerable, defenseless before such beauty, lost in unadulterated excitement.

Collecting myself, my hand moves from her cheek to the back of her head. Still grinning, we draw closer, on the brink of an ultimate embrace. As our proximity increases, my heart flutters with anticipation. The thrill of a kiss never wanes. With every inch that dwindles, the tingling sensations coursing through my body surge exponentially. I steady myself, close my eyes, and…

And I wake up.
