WALK

I had a dream.
I didn't know whether it was a sweet dream or nightmare.

It was a clod night...

I walked down on an unfamiliar road.
I had never been here before.
People were ignoring me.
It was like I was invisible.

After I walked for about 3 minutes,
I stopped in front of a family restaurant.
I saw a family was having their dinner.
Parents and their two children.
I guess the boy was around 17,
And the girl was around 15.
I wasn't really sure though...
But they looked happy together.
Suddenly I missed my family,
The funny thing was I didn't remember my family.
My father and mother, did I even have sibling?
Who was my family?

I decided to walk again.
There was a homeless man with his dog.
He brought an old guitar and sing an unfamiliar song.
It became colder suddenly.
Oh! It was snowing!
The homeless man still sang.
His dog accompanied him.
I tried to reach into the deepest of my pocket,
to find one or two dollar.
But there was nothing in my pocket.
So, I only saw several people passed by and dropped money into his guitar case.
Then I walked again....

This time I saw two teenagers.
They looked.....very drunk.
I didn't know what they had eaten or drank.
They just sit in front of a small 24 hours shop.
In this snowing night, they cuddled each other.
Maybe they were lover...
I didn't know though....

Not far from that place,
I saw a crowd.
There were people singing romantic song.
In the middle of the crowd,
There was a man and a woman.
Oh, the man proposed to the woman!
And she accepted it!
That man must be really happy.
I could feel that I smiled at that time.
I felt warm looking people happy.

It was really cold.
The snow...It was getting colder.
I walked again and I didn't feel tired.
I felt cold, but not tired.
Maybe in the real realm, I was shivering on my bed.

Now the road went up.
Should I walk farther?
But if I stopped, I would freeze!
Besides, I didn't remember a place that I called home.
I didn't even know my name.....

I kept walking...
I was really tired.
Suddenly, there was a man walking next to me.
He smiled at me.
But his face...I couldn't remember his face.
But I was sure he smiled at me.
Then he held my hand.
It was so weird, but I felt secure.
"Want me to piggy back you?" he asked suddenly.
I shook my head.
"I know you are tired, let me carry you."
I shook my head harder.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong. I won't let you fall."
I stopped and looked at him.
I couldn't see his face, and I didn't recognize him.
But I let him to carry me.
"See? You are not heavy at all."
After said that, he continued walking.
He sang a song that I didn't know.
But his voice was really good.
He could sing very well.
I didn't know him, I didn't know where we would go,
I didn't know the road, and I didn't know anything, even myself.
But I didn't mind being carried by him...
Then slowly, I fell a sleep on his back because of his lullaby....
