The Nightmare in my Dreams

I met a boy today. He was beautiful. He had curly brown hair and shining green eyes. He smiled at me in the darkness, and I saw the shadow of his dimples. He reached out to me, telling me to take his hand. I tried, oh I tried, but every time I came close enough he appeared further away than before. I felt like Alice and he was my white rabbit. I was somewhere lost in wonderland.

I followed the boy through meadows of purple grass and deep into shadowy black forests. Through pristine white cities cowering under a deep red sky, mountains covered entirely in blue roller coasters and race car tracks, and finally to a large cliff jutting up out of the ocean with a bright golden tree planted at the top. He jumped off that cliff, and when I did not follow but instead woke up, I knew I had met a boy that only belonged in my dreams.
