At my 40th birthday, I realized I had lagged behind in every way. I was not at the same stage of life as people my age. Loveless, unmarried, childless, with the same carefree soul and face as the 20s me. It was as if I had frozen.
I started to be reminded of "Sam".
The 16 years old boy from dream years before had then come into real world as a man 16 years my junior.
We rekindled our love relationship in real world as if there had never been a gap from the dream world.
He could come back to me in different identities and appearances, but I could always recognize his soul. He was my guardian, my muse, my inspiration, and the love of my life. I was 40 then. And I wonder where our love would be going to.
