big fish

you woke me up from a bad dream in the middle of the night.

i asked how you knew it was bad.

you told me my face was sad, my body was twitching, and my fists were clenched.

i smiled and you kissed my forehead. 

"They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that's true.
What they don't tell you is that when it starts again, it moves extra fast to catch up."
