Savior

"Can you fly?" he asks me.

"No," I reply.

"Then why are you standing there?" he asks.

I look at the ground.

Three stories up in the air and I can't even answer a simple question.

Yes, I came up here with a purpose and a plan.

But why can't I follow that plan?

I sit on the ledge and look at him.

"I couldn't fly either," he says as he sits next to me.

For the first time I notice his wings.

He notices me staring and smiles a sad smile.

"It doesn't stop the pain," he says.

I look at my phone and see my mom is trying to call me.

I look at the angel.

"You should answer," he says.

"I wouldn't be alive to answer it if it wasn't for you," I say.

He smiles at me before flying off.

I wake up startled to my alarm going off.

I pick up my diary and record every little part of that dream.

I don't know who he was but I'm grateful he was there.

I threw away my plan so mom wouldn't know.

That dream saved me and maybe it will save you too.
