Vacation

 "It's like a vacation" she said, 

Her voice was a faint whisper in the night wind...
Creeping through my slightly open sliding glass door as I brushed my teeth, while I got lost in the emptiness in my eyes.
"It's like a vacation."
I saw her eyes in mine.
For just a moment.

Making myself snap back to reality, I spit in the sink, and spashed cold water on my face. 

My skin was more dry than usual, from the tears I wept but let no one see. 

I crawled into bed, and they started again.

The nightmares.

The visions.

My heart racing.

It was a long night, and thought I kept repeating her words "It's like a vacation" I couldn't seem to teleport myself there.

Not that night anyway.

Maybe someday.
