Dream Lover
I had an interesting dream last night about my prom date. FJ and Katie probably know who I’m talking about, but for the rest of you folks, all you need to know was that he was the guy I went to prom with.
In my dream I was back in highschool - sort of, because I was the current me, with Phlome as my bf (didn’t know him back then), but I was on a school trip and the subject of planning our senior trip came up (I never went on a sr. trip in real life). The school trip just happened to be to Paris. Very nice. My concern was that Prom Date (we’ll call him PD for now) is/was renowned for being very ‘pursuasive’ with girls. Basically I was afraid I would cheat on Phlome w/ PD because I had a weekness for this boy. So I was spending most of my trip in Paris avoiding him, and declining his invitations for various ‘excursions’. This is when the Sr. trip came into play. He and his friend decided our Sr. trip should be to Cancun, if we could just raise enough money. So while everyone is sitting around coming up with ideas for raising money, I’m debating on wether I should even consider going. Being in Paris w/ PD was one thing, but being on a beach in Cancun in nothing but swimwear, was competely different. So what should I do!? Skip the sr. trip and miss out on a free trip to Cancun w/ all my friends and tons of partying? Or go party with the rest of them and risk my relationship with Phlome? Oh the agony, the decisions…arggggg! And this whole time PD is looking at me and that ‘you will succumb to me’ kind of way. Ok that sound eerie, but it wasn’t. Anyway the whole dream was rather stressfull, part of me wanted to have my fun with PD, then just go back to my life, because we both knew that it would never develop any sort of relationship, but on the other had, at the way the plans were going, this might become some sort of regular thing, where once a year I’d meet him somewhere we’d have a fling then go back to our regular lives. The other part of me knew it was wrong. I think…
So, all this is going through my mind while the trip was being planned, and nothing ever actually happened in the dream.
So this leads to the question of the day: Would you ever do it?
If there was some person who you had no relationship with whatsoever, besides the physical, would it be okay to have a fling once in a while? Knowing you would always go back to the one you love? Knowing your heart belonged to your love, would it be okay to have some raucous fun w/ someone else, for that sole purpose alone, once in a while?
Yes, really that is just one question.
