I apologize if this is becoming a dream diary.
It has been almost three years when I said goodbye to the feelings I felt for him. I don't think about him anymore. I didn't even think of him before I went to sleep. It was a pure random activity of my brain.
So, who was this guy? He was one of my crushes when I was in high school.
The setting was in a coffee shop. Now you get why the title's like that.
The weird thing is, I was with my mom. We were talking about something. By something, I think it was about my internship.
And just like that, the coffee shop's door opened, revealing the person who dared to entered.
I guess slow motion applies in dreamland because when I set my eyes on that person, he was walking in a slow mo effect. And when he met my gaze, he smiled immediately like as if we're friends.
He joined in our table and we couldn't say no. He was smiling like crazy and I don't know why. I think my respiratory system dysfunction-ed for awhile because I found myself catching my breath several seconds after.
My mom reached for her phone then she infinitely scrolled her feed to check on her friends online. In my opinion, it was as if she given me space to catch up with my "friend."
So he tried to start the conversation. He was a natural. I didn't feel any awkwardness at all. He was even trying to have physical contact with me. (i.e., his feet having contact with my feet)
Suddenly, he reached for his phone. I thought he was about to leave or he was about to check social media and leave the conversation but instead, he said he wanted to take a picture of me.
I was like "ohmygoodness no I look ugly staph."
I was trying to cover my face.
He stopped and we continued to chat.
The other parts are actually hard to narrate for they're already cloudy but I can remember this short scene where I was ranting about how horrible that one person is and to my horror, I saw the person I was talking about in the table next to us. I immediately stuffed my mouth with food.
I looked at him and he was grinning. And with that grin, I think my heart did a mini somersault.
I excused myself to go to the restroom.
When I got back, I don't know how it went to the scene where he was behind me.
He asked me go get his phone. He even let me explore his phone like he was willing to show his all to me.
There was also a time where he was so close, it was like he was back hugging me. I can still remember how the butterflies rumbled in my stomach.
If my memory serves me right, I think he even gave me a necklace. I can't remember what the pendant is.
Unfortunately, my mom and I needed to go to the university where I'll be having my internship. We bid goodbye and said that we'll see each other again.
After settling things with the university, my mom and I went back to the coffee shop but he was gone. I was expecting him to be there but he wasn't.
Then I heard an unending buzzing sound. That was when I realized that it was my phone and my aunt was calling me.
Upon waking up and reminiscing that dream, I suddenly asked, "what was that?"
It was really random and I don't know if it has any meaning behind that. But I also felt this strong want to be his friend.
Well, that's clearly impossible. I don't think there is something that can make us click and I don't think that we'll have our moment together because we rarely see each other and it's not like we acknowledge one other when we randomly see each other somewhere.
I like to think that it was just my brain doing some throwback and making up scenes.
