we were in bed, and i was all smushed up into his body - just like it always was. he pointed at me, finger in my face, he said "and now when i wake up, it'll be with you again, like it's supposed to be."

but then i woke up and he wasn't beside me, but instead an empty space in the bed as usual.

also, i feel like i've swallowed one of those little wind-up toys. the ones that you wind up and wait and wait and then they flip over backward or something? and it just flipped over backward. either that or my lung collapsed.
