Sean Lennon and I were sitting in his house. It wasnt the Dakota, it was more like a studio apartment. It was obvious for some reason that he was my boyfriend, in spite of a very obvious age difference. He had like 6 guitars plus the Imagine piano in this little room. I was overwhelmed by it all and asked Sean if I could play Johns piano. He nodded and I sat down and started to play "Imagine". The next thing I know, were at my house and Sean is nowhere to be found. I run all over my house looking for him and I ask my dad where he is. "I dont know", he replies. "Maybe he left." That made me burst into tears. Sean is gone? But he didnt even give me his phone number or e-mail address! I ran down to my basement and there he is, and hes wearing my angel costume from a previous Halloween. Surprisingly, it fit him and I laughed. He smiled and said "I love making you laugh, Katie." We then went up stairs and I realized Sean was no longer wearing my costume, but I noticed he had very long hair. "You should cut your hair, like maybe into a mop top, but not as clean cut as the Beatles," I suggested. "Yeah, I think my father wouldve liked that," he said. The next thing I knew we were standing outside of a bus station and Sean was saying goodbye to me. He wrote his cell phone number and address on my hand and I did the same for him. After Sean was gone, I went back inside the bus station and my friend Emi was there. I was so excited about Sean that I didnt notice her at first. Then I showed her my hand and she about fainted. I told her what happened and it was obvious she was very jealous. She began to walk away and I turned to run after her...

Then I woke up.

Just a dream, why couldnt it have been true? I looked at my hand wishfully and Seans phone number and address were not there. But I still remembered the numbers. I got out of my bed and called the number, 638-4326. The phone rang for a while and then I heard someone say "Hello?". "Uh...hi, is...uh, Sean there?" I asked nervously. If this wasnt Seans number I didnt want to feel like an idiot. "This is Sean," the voice replied. "Sean Lennon?" I asked unsurely. "Yes..." he replied. "Do you recognize the phone number ***-***-****?" I asked hopefully. "Oh my, is that your phone number?" he asked. "Yes." "Katie?" "Oh my gosh! You had the dream too?" "Yes, I did. It was wonderful; the only thing I didnt like about it was that I never got to say what I wanted to." "Neither did I, I want to meet you so I can tell you," he said. "So do I, well I cant possibly get to where you live, so could you come here?" he agreed and I gave him my address and waited anxiously for him to arrive. The next day Sean came. I threw myself into his arms and he gave me a long-awaited kiss. "I love you," he said softly. "I love you too..."

Then I woke up for real. I looked at my hand and Seans graceful handwriting was nowhere to be found.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Turn it inside out so I can see/The part of you that's drifting over me/And when I wake you're never there/But when I sleep you're everywhere/Just tell me how I got this far/Just tell me why you're here and who you are/I recognize the way you make me feel/It's hard to think that this might not be real/I sense it now, the water's getting deep/I try to wash the pain away from me/And when I touch your hand/It's then I understand/The beauty that's within/It's now that we begin/You always light my way/I hope there never comes a day/No matter where I go/I always feel you so/Cause you're everywhere to me/And when I close my eyes it's you I see/You're everything I know that makes me believe/I'm not alone/Im not alone/You're in everyone I see/So tell me/Do you see me? ~Everywhere by Michelle Branch

Will you be in my dreams tonight?/And in the end/The love you take/Is equal to the love/You make ~The End by The Beatles

I don't expect you to understand/The kingdom of Heaven is in your hands/I don't expect you to wake from the dream/Too late for crying, now, that it seems/All their little plans and schemes/Ain't nothing but a bunch of dreams/All you really needed to do/Was, maybe, some love ~Real Love by John Lennon

So long ago/Was it in a dream/was it just a dream/I know, yes I know/Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me/...Dream, dream away/Magic in the air, was magic in the air/I believe, yes I believe/More I cannot say, what more can I say/On a river of sound/Thru the mirror go round/I thought I could feel/Music touching my soul/something warm, sudden cold... ~#9 Dream by John Lennon
