Not A Dream, But Reality Poem by AshUHlee DurrENDuh

The night grew darker as the hour went by. Wrapping your canvas as my cheeks pealed upwards forming a smile. Closing my eyelids I visioned her smile... Her joy as my heart grew bigger with warmth. I knew she was going to love her canvas... I should have painted her a whole wall dedicated only to her love, care and compassion. I opened my eyes to see the two shirts unfolded with tags still on them. An empty kohl's box laid open as I whipped the tags off... Folded the shirts and placed them in the box. I covered the top with tissue paper as my hand fell on her bracelet. It was for friendship. As I held it in my hands bringing it closer to my chest. I felt my heart beating ' I love you' on top of her bracelet. Her thoughts raced as they shoved each other in her head who would be discussed first. She placed her accessory inside the box, closed the top and placing Christmas wrap to cover it all up. She wrote her name on the tags as she stuck them onto the wrap where she could see them... I finished wrapping her gifts as I peered at the time. It was 10: 13 on the night of Melanie's wedding. She knew Lauren was having a good time at the wedding as she turned her Xbox on to play black ops 2 with Steve. As it became a little after midnight... She said good night to Steve as she turned her Xbox off and wrapped herself in her comforter. As she began to shut her eyes for the night. She kept thinking about her reaction when she would receive her gifts. She just wanted to show her what she deserves as a person as well as a sister. She can't even define what she is and how beautiful she really is... She wanted to give her everything plus more back to her for what she does everyday for her.
As she continued her thoughts she fell asleep... Only hoping she would awake to her by her bed side. But as she awoke and peered around her room... It was a dream after all. She didn't receive her gifts yet and she wasn't over her house. She sat up as she grabbed her walker hopping to n the kitchen for a cup of coffee. Sitting that mixing her coffee around with a spoon she began to enter a different dimension. All she wanted was to see her and give her gifts for her to accessorize herself but she couldn't just yet.

And she couldn't wait to give them to her.
After she received her gifts she got what she wanted for weeks. She received her gifts from her as well but she was honestly happy to see her again. She gets even more beautiful every time she sees her. Her eyes glow as well as her smile. She's just like a humming bird... As she hums away in her ear very night. It comforts her to know she's so delicate and has no idea what she deserves or is. She is more than beautiful.. More than a best friend. She is a sister that she will always hold hands with until they want to to jump off the edge as they dangle their feet over the edge.... She always looked at her as they did together... Knowing that through the wind tangling her hair in her eyes that she could still see that she was beautiful and delicate as her smile was shared with her as her heart jumped off the edge... As well as she tried to catch it... She jumped as well as she dangled her feet on the edge as she caught her sisters house in the water and came up to the surface as the heart magnetically went inside her chest as she lifted herself up into the sky placed a seat on a cloud facing her sister. She had her back turned as wings began to rip themselves out of her back... As she grabbed her sisters hand and told her to com closer
You're an angel I knew it she said as her own wings began to rip out of her back. Ashley placed her Halo on top of her sisters head as she said And so are you.... Do you know where we are? Our heaven? She said as they stood up holding hands while Ashley laughed and smiled ' No we are in your heaven... And we can fly ' they held hands as they flew through the clouds As Ashley asked her If she was happy... ' I just wish this wasn't a dream but yes I am'... ' but Lauren.. This isn't a dream... This is your reality'.
