Have You Seen This Girl?

I looked around. I was in a sea of people. Faceless strangers meandering all around me. The sky was white. The people all wore neutral shades of blacks and browns. Where was I? What we were all doing?

Suddenly something blue flashed somewhere in front of me. I fought against the current to see what it was.

I saw it again. I followed it upward to see red hair. I fought the shoulders of the people around me. I needed to get to her. I couldn’t catch up. Then she turned around and relaxed as her eyes met mine. She smiled.

Then disappeared as more people blocked my view. My vision was blurry. I rubbed my eyes. I couldn’t find her! I started screaming at the zombie like blurs around me. Surely someone had to know her!

I woke up in a sweat to my alarm. I laid back down and tried to get back to sleep. I tried to get back to her, but to no avail.

I relented and got ready for my day, my mind plagued by the redhead in blue.

I hailed a taxi, got in, and situated myself.

“It’s you.”

My eyes were clear as they turned to focus on familiar colors of red and blue. And the smile I fought to get to.

The girl of my dreams.
