The fact that I miss you is proof you've already seeped into my life.

Lately, a presence like dopamine has come to me, filling my otherwise hollow days. It has become a simple fever, to the point where I now look forward to the night and wait to fall into a dream.

And tonight. I closed my eyelids as they slowly grew heavy. I felt the sweetness of sleep drifting in. Then, as I began to drift off, I fell into a deep slumber while thinking of that person who flashes through my mind like a revolving lantern. After a long darkness, when I opened my eyes again, a white mist blocked my vision. I waved my hand to clear the now-familiar fog and sat up. And what caught my eye... was a familiar silhouette. That silhouette approached me and flashed a grin.
