[ WP ] A man travels back in time every time he falls asleep .

There I was again. 
 
 `` I love you.'' She said. Again. *Again*. 
 
 I saw the speechlessness in my own face. I wanted to scream; I wanted to tell myself to scream. But I just stood there, still as a statue, as she turned around and walked away without saying another word. I lost her to the cold mist. Again. 
 
 I heard the exact same words that flew through my head at that moment, incoherent as they were. I heard that song, that stupid song, that some idle drunkard was singing for no decent reason. I could even taste the stale beer I'd have after numbly making my way home that night. 
 
 That night. For a few bitter seconds, that night would linger still in my mind. Until the cold mist swallow me completely, I'd still cry my invisible tears while trying to decide whether that was a plesant dream or a nightmare. Come the hideous, familiar flash of white, I'd wake up in my bed, drowned in sweat, begging whatever deity might hear me for the gift of forgetfulness. 
 
 Again.
