You came to me in a series of dreams over the past month. I nicknamed you Ella Blue because your eyes were more brilliant and blue than any I'd ever seen. You were mine and I was yours. I knew every inch of you and the bond was so great nothing could take you away from me. I knew every strand of your golden hair, every spec in your dark outlined blue eyes, every long curly eyelash, every dimple in your little fingers, every ringlet of chub around your wrists and your ankles, and mostly I knew the smile of your brilliant eyes and cherry red lips. We played in the sand building castles and dreams, we played in the grass and you laughed as you caught lady bugs and you tried to catch the birds but they were out of your grasp. I longed to catch one for you, if only for a moment in time. We laughed at the bunnies and at the squirrels and then each night I kissed you good bye. I knew that you'd be back, in my dreams and you were...many a night. That is until last night, you appeared as usual but in the end a woman appeard to take you away, you cried with your little arms outstretched reaching for me. I was held back by a force stronger than man and all at once you were gone. It was then that I awoke with tears in my eyes, trickling slowly down my face. Come back, Ella Blue.
