The Beauty of Dreams

I was breathing heavily, almost hyperventilating, 'what is this? where am I?' All these questions are popping inside of my head, I have never been so befuddled in my life. I kept breathing abruptly for a while.

 After an eternity of closing my eyes and palpitation, I open my eyes, to see the most messed up scene in front of me, I WAS DROWNING, deep in the water body, so far, that even someone really wanted to save me, couldn't have, because its physically impossible. I'm about 5,000 feet under the water, I wonder how I'm still alive. The sad reality is, that I won't be, after a count of a few seconds. 

I start to think of all the good memories, I and my family had, all the overjoyed happiness I had when I got a job, all the fairy-tale-like moments I had with my first love, all those good times that I won't even remember when I die. 'No! I don't want to die! I wanna live more! I wanna live more than ever! I wanna do all the things I have not done yet! I wanna spend more time with my family before I say my last goodbye! I don't wanna die!' I scoffed in my mind, thinking why does it even matter, there's no one who is listening to me like before. I lost my first love, I became jobless for such a long time, struggling with money, my family lives far away, so they can't help me. somehow always the good things come, But they go away so ruthlessly like the leaves of autumn. I wish I could've done something to save all those things, all those times, all those memories, and most importantly, I wish I could've saved me.

There it is, the sun, shining so brightly, still giving me the light underneath. I wish I could see this light more. I'm losing more and more hope as the time passes by, its gonna get over some time, right? I start to close my eyes. 'I guess this it then.'

As soon as I start to lose my breath, I hear a loud splash, more like someone diving, I open my eyes quickly, and see a beautiful creature swimming towards me. He was the most beautiful person I would've seen in my life. I was about to lose consciousness, when he, in a zap of time brought me to the air, to the surface of the water. 'It feels so good to be alive.' That was the first thought that came inside my head. I snap my head towards the man who saved me, and boy did he look gorgeous. He had the most angelic face, the most beautiful color of brown hair, the most captivating emerald eyes. 'Is he an angel?'

He came closer to my ear, and whispered, "Yes beautiful, I'm an angel."

As soon as he spoke that, my eyes fluttered open to see the sunlight shining so bright that it can almost make a person blind. I see my pet cat purr next to me, and my mom calling me for breakfast. 'It was just a dream' 

I get out of my bed, and run to my mom and hug her so tight. She might be wondering why, but the dream I had showcased me the worst possibilities that could happen, So I decided that I should live each day like it's my last. 

For a while, I forgot about the man who saved me in the dream. 'Will I meet him again? Perhaps, could I see him in my next dream? Was he really an angel?' Whatever it is, I will never forget that dream.

Little did I know, He was my guardian angel.
