"Do Dreams Come True?" [M4A] [Nightmare] [Break up] [Anxious Speaker] [Can't find Listener] [Crying]

Transcript

Wait! No, no, no, no, no, please… It's empty. Love, are you here? Where are they? Honey, are you in the bedroom? What is happening? This can't be real, can it? They were right there beside me.

I'm sure of it. A nightmare can't be real, right? This isn't real.

It has to be fake. I just need to clear my mind. I just need to relax.

They might just be getting some water. It's fine. They didn't believe me.

It's just a bad dream. Nothing happened. It's overreacting.

I'll just lay down. I'll close my eyes. Wait, and they will be back any second.

How long has it been? I can't even bring myself to check downstairs. Dude, they would have been here already, right? Oh, I'll call.

I'll just call. Maybe they just fell asleep downstairs. It won't be the first.

When they answer, I'll just head down there. There's nothing to be afraid of, right? Because they'll be there.

I'll wake them up and carry them upstairs, like I always do. Oh, thank God you picked up. You sound sleepy.

Did you fall asleep downstairs again? I had the worst dream. A nightmare that you left and I woke up and I didn't see you.

When I called for you, you didn't answer. I did panic at first, but you must have fallen asleep downstairs like you would sometimes. The dream just scared me.

I forgot and. .. Yes? I'm sorry.

I just got carried away because I thought. .. Right.

What do you mean, I thought right? Because we broke up three weeks ago? Love, please, just let me get you downstairs.

Let's not do this, right? Why don't they call you love? But you love him, why not? You're uncomfortable? Because we're not together anymore? Oh, love, I mean.

.. Listen, this can't be. I felt you right beside me.

You're telling me that I've been struggling with the split? Why would I take it well again? Why are you this okay? I can still feel you beside me.

To the point I'm convinced you're really there. That's why I'm struggling? Because I won't accept it.

Accept what? What should I accept when I still love you? Am I the only one? You're tired.

So, am I the only one who has strength for us? Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that.

I know the disagreements were really bad before the split. But we can fix it, right? We just need some time.

We can try again for. .. You don't want to fix anymore.

Why? What are you even saying right now? Did you hear what you said? What do you mean? Didn't you hear me say how much love I still have for you? It's not.

.. You don't love me anymore. It's a different feeling.

So you care for me as someone you know and not as a lover. You're sorry. Wait, please.

I know it's late but. .. Please, hang up.

Please, call me back. It's just a dream. It really hurts too much to be real.

I feel as if my heart would burst. It burns to breathe and it hurts to even exist. How did it get this bad for me? For us.

Were we that bad for each other? Or maybe I wasn't there. I doubt I will ever have the strength to contact them again after that call.

They were right. I don't want to move on and I'll never get over it. At this time? Who could it be at this hour? I'm coming.

I'm coming. Who is it? Why are you here? To check on me.

I am a. .. Would you like to come in? If I knew I was having company at like 3am I would have received you better.

Wrapped in a comforter with a clean hex in my hand isn't exactly proper etiquette. You hung up on me. Why would I think that you would show up? I didn't even expect a call after that.

I get it. I guess. Plus you were totally right.

Yeah, I sounded terrible. I mean, anyone would if they were confessing and got rejected. Maybe I just had a roses tinted glasses on.

Everything was a little bit better for me than it really was. I'm sorry. I see why you were tired and didn't want to try again.

I can see how draining that would be. I really appreciate that you came here. I wanted to talk to you, but after all that I didn't think it was appropriate to request that from you.

Yeah, I'm not crying anymore. I can't say the same for tomorrow though, but I'll live. Falling asleep has been a little difficult lately, because I'm not taking this well at all.

But I have been feeling tired since we sat down to talk.
