--

i go to bed at night with the images of someone i do not know flooding my mind. i dream of holding her hand, kissing her sweet little nose, playing with her hair.
i dream about what kind of lotion i will buy for her.
what she will look like in certain clothes.
what size shoe she wears.
but mostly i just see her face.
and when i wake up, i feel much like i did when i was small, and played with dolls. that it was great, but not real.
make believe.

i pray she is not feeling the same way.
