I was asleep.
He placed his fingers within my hairs,
Then his lips on my forehead.
Did he say anything?
No, but his eyes...
I felt like a golden necklace.
No, not exactly like that.
I felt precious, protected.
Fear vanished for that moment;
I was no longer scared,
Not even scared of myself.
Let me tell one thing.
I was not asleep.
I was wide awake
When I was dreaming this.
When I sleep,
Occasionally I have nightmares,
I never have a beautiful dream.
