I dream that she stands above me and laughs.....

my eyes are closed and I smile....

she tells me that we all have a role to play...it's

a perfect match , she says....

you're a perfect " lover "...

I roll my eyes, still closed, and laugh out loud...

who is " lover " and why I am chosen to play

I wonder...

I feel her paint a symbol on my cheek...

I sense that it is red...a red as red as blood...

she steps back quickly as it runs down the side

of my neck,

cool and strange...

suddenly, it all seems so familiar...
