For her and her dreams...

On the phone.

"I'm thousands of miles away.", she said crying.

"No you're not. You're right here.", I replied

"How are we supposed to do this?", she questioned

"We'll find a way."

"I should have never applied to this college."

"No, don't say that."

"But if I just went to a college down there then everything would be per.."

"No, I won't let you finish that.", I interuppted "Your dreams are up there. Make your dreams come true. I promise I'm still going to be here when you wake up."

I could hear her crying.

She fell asleep on the phone, I slipped away cradling the phone in my arms.

I woke up to the sound of her breathing over the phone.

I wanted to be there when she woke up.
