This is a lovely story. Love this line
“a reminder that even in dreams, our love carries the weight of our fragility” -
Dreams always have some kind of meaning behind them. Trying to figure that meaning out is the hard part. Perhaps the lost dress was a representation of words that were never spoken. Or desires never totally met. The ending is warm and affectionate. As a poet or writer, dreams can be of value, which in this case, was beneficial for a good story with a happy ending. 🙂

Tim I love your insights here. Indeed you illuminate he hidden nature of meaning in dreams. Indeed, I do think the lost dress held a meaning. As did the atm machine. I could imagine the atm machine meaning that the love we had was never really about money but that she was looking for something more than what money can buy from me. Thank you so much for sharing your insightful thoughts here. They were greatly appreciated.
John

Chère C.,
In the Netherlands, we believe that everyone has ‘een rugzakje’. A backpack, but the addition of ‘je’ can’t be translated as far as I know. It’s there to indicate that sometimes it’s heavy and sometimes less. If I make any sense.In this rugzakje we all carry things from present and past (mostly).
The thing for others, is to accept other rugzakjes too. I hear what you say, and at the same time I know that there will be more people who will support and embrace you.The days will be getting longer. I hope that more hours of light will strengthen you.
Warm regards, Gus

Well now, this is quite loaded with some serious wording! Not easy I am sure, to carry the rhymes along as you did.
And, it’s a rewarding read, that I enjoyed very much. -

Professionally done, Wally. Each followed the same syllable count and I like the alternating rhyme scheme. And for the meaning, I think the chosen words are just right to convey the yearnings of the heart. 🙂
