Every single time.

The past couple of nights have been rough. I'm being tormented with happiness....fake happiness. Allow me to explain briefly. Every day I don't take my anti-depressant I have a dream about him. Every single time. I cannot explain it, I do not know why, but it is so. Sometimes I forget to take my medicine, or I leave it somewhere where I cannot get to it that day, etc. The dreams I have are delightfully frightening. It always starts out the way my previous day ended, more of less a continuum of my day. Every single time. He always blesses me with some pity story of apology and I automatically forgive him and BAM everything is back to normal, just as it was prior to September 30, 2008. Last night I dreamt we were laying together. He was just holding me close and telling me how much he loved me. It was the most beautiful sensation, having him close at hand, him looking just as my last memory recalls, glistening in the sunlight through the window. The funny thing here is, I took my medicine yesterday. So now, I can rule out my lack of medicine being the cause. But, when I wake up, I feel so very enthralled and excited, just as I did every morning before knowing I had him. After a few seconds pass and I open my eyes and have the blood flowing again, it hits me. Hard. Harder than ever. I realize it wasn't real. He doesn't love me anymore. He wasn't holding me close. He will never be there again.
I wish either I could live in reality or in my dreams. These demons are making it awfully hard for me to deal with either because they are so intertwined. Peace is all I desire. I am not unhappy in the least, but apparently, I am not at peace.
Honestly, I am tired of knowing him. I wish I could forget his name, what he looked like, where he lived, and if I do see him again, I would not know him from Adam. That is my desire. That would bring me peace.

It is in fact a long and hard journey at times.
