I had a dream about you last night. You set a timer on in the bathroom to prove how long it takes me to get ready. So I shaved your legs, made up your face and gave you lashes. An hour later you thanked God for not making you a woman.

I had a dream about you last night. You were at my door. We had forgotten what we used to fight about. So, I let you in, and we made coconut pancakes like it was the very first time.

I had a dream about you. You were a stranger playing a gig in this pub where I was waitressing. I felt like I knew you or needed to, so I asked you to have a few drinks with me. Then my alarm went off. I sat up in bed to see you still sleeping. I’m glad I decided to wear a kilt that summer while I was in school.

I had a dream that Mark Wahlberg and his wife were our neighbors, and we had dance parties in our living room and drank wine from Solo cups. I remember being confused as to why they lived in a regular neighborhood, or why it didn't seem to make anyone awkward that I had Mary's Calvin ads up in the living room.

I had this dream about you last night. We were still married. I was giving you a haircut, like I always did, being careful to trim around the scar on the back of your head. I’m sorry I sometimes forgot it and left you with a bald spot. And, I’m sorry we didn’t work out. But you look pretty happy on Instagram.

I had this dream about you. We went hunting up in the mountains and I caught a unicorn. You told me now I know how it feels to be you.

I imagine you dream of me on the nights I dream of you. I'm always so confused by the Platonic way we enjoy each other’s company. We talk about so many things that I can't recall when I wake up. How did you get me pregnant last night? We never touch in my dreams.

I know I'm not going to be in your head all the time. But once you know me, I'll be forever in your heart.

I know you think I'm crazy. Maybe that's because I am. About life, about this moment, about you.

Crystal Woods

I'll only tell you what matters. And, the truth is, everything matters.
