i had a dream ...

yes, i had a dream. i was sitting all alone, enjoying the beach, basking in the warmth of the morning sun. i was reading a book, and i would look out into the blue of the sea and drown my eyes in its coolness. there's a father and child who was near me. it was a very nice day.
the kid comes up to me. i look up at him, he was such a beautiful child. big eyes, skin so pink and flushed, you just wanna kiss him and hug him. he just kept looking at me, and i suddenly felt love and longing, wishing this kid was mine. he said something in spanish. i don't really speak the language, but i can understand a bit of it. but what he said was something that i refused to believe he really said to me. so i just kept thinking, he's really saying some other thing. i just smile at him. and he says the same thing, but this time like he's affirming it to himself. His father comes up to us. the father says "did you understand what he just told you?" i look up. such resemblance, like the kid that was in front of me suddenly summoned his future self.
"i sort of understand ... but it's not very clear" i replied to the man. he asked me what it was that i sort of understand. i laughed. "it's silly ... i don't think it was what he really said." the man just kept smiling at me. so i told him. "your child seems to think i'm the angel who sang to him in his dream." the man beamed at me. "yes, that was what he said." and he just kept smiling at me. "oh that's very nice ... " was all i could say. i just kept thinking ... somebody's pulling a prank on me. the child was now touching my hand, and he was reaching up to my hair. he said something again, but i was just so embarassed to be in that situation that this time, i really did not understand him at all. the father puts his arm around his child, and sits next to me. the child just kept playing with my hair and kept saying "mi angel".
"you know ..." the man started talking to me again, but i sensed some sort of hesitation in his voice...

then i woke up. hope this dream continues tonight in my sleep ...
