“A fleeting dream”

I once dreamed of us in some hazy, far-off future.
We owned a small, weathered house by the sea,
a place where light poured in soft and warm,
and everything was touched by gold.
The day was mellow, the kind that promised tranquility and peace.

I covered your eyes with my hands,
guiding you toward the little apartment—
faded wallpaper, creaking floors,
the soft decay of things well-loved.

Old green windows and the faint scent of salt in the air.
The walls carried whispers of a long time passing.
It wasn’t much, but it was enough,
because it was ours.

I pulled my hands away,
and you had seen the sea, endless and shimmering,
and in that moment, you were radiant,
smiling like you’d found something you never knew you needed.

You loved it then, loved it with that quiet look you had— a soft smile that spoke of everything unspoken.
You smiled like you’d tasted a secret that could never be shared, and for that moment, we were wrapped in something delicate and fleeting,
a quiet happiness that felt too fragile to hold for long.

You loved it, loved the way the sun hit the water just right, loved the quiet promise held in the soft hum of the waves.
For that brief, perfect moment, you were happy,
and so was I, lost in the simple beauty of what could have been.”
― Dr. Anna Curto D.C.
