It was only just a dream.


Yet, the relief that overcame her, was so surreal.


For a moment, a burden she had been carrying for months, was lifted off her chest, and the world felt so much better again.


The tears, the hugs, could be felt so intensely.


She was finally relieved that her worst nightmare was finally over for good.


Then,


She opened her eyes,

It was only just a dream. 


It was too good to be true.
