I saw you. It's been over half a year. You look tired and different. The bounce in your step is gone. That wild energy and happy goofiness? Nowhere to be seen. I don't think you saw me though I do have to wonder if you knew I'd be there. Given how everyone was teasing me about your return, I can't see how you wouldn't know. Our shenanigans humored them greatly apparently. I don't see how you wouldn't know so maybe you deliberately avoided seeing me. I don't know. Anyways, it was sad seeing you today because I have been wishing you well and happy this whole time. Hope it was just a rotten day and that you're actually quite well. Take good care of yourself. Your malevolent fairy demands it.

I think this might be the most publicized case of this happening to a woman ever. She was sick. She was literally on the cruise. She was told that her symptoms were "just anxiety".

She had hantavirus and is in critical condition. I really hope she recovers but given the delay to her care, it's so very worrying.

Just a little needle straight into that point in my brain where you're still hiding. It's been so long since I've seen you. Months and that's quieted everything down so substantially. I'm back to being myself again, or so I think, until the moment you come parading back through my dreams. This time, it's two nights in a row and a total of 4 dreams that I can remember. They're not really romantic or anything like that. You just exist as you were, talking and looking at me as you did. Sometimes scolding me, other times, you're joking around. It makes me a little sad. You're going to absolutely find out that I'm avoiding you. Whether I'll be able to or I'll run into you is up to the fates to decide. All I know is that I've been told that you're back and suddenly, my dreamless nights have changed dramatically so that, even trying to avoid you, you're back. That's my problem, not yours. Always was and always will be. I just hope you're doing well.
