He was a dreamer. He lived his life with his head up in the clouds, eyes covered, spirit free and mind open. 

He acted on impulse, never thought about consequences, or the day to come after yesterday, or the minute after. Never thought about anything else except the present. 

Didn't even think about others.

And maybe that was where the root of the problem was-

In his inability to see his lover drift further and further away, until the love of his life was no longer behind him. 

It had to be a dream. 

Everything would fix itself if he waited. 

He would wait forever until his eyes opened, and awaken from this nightmare.
