And so you dream. That you might grasp her hand and run. You dream dark woods, branches tugging at your hems, hoods shadowing your faces, her white hands. You always dream the pounding of horses' hooves in the distance, like a nearing thunder. Sometimes it's Othello's men, sometimes Iago, with a strange smile upon his lips. Most of the time, though, he does not come, and you don't know whether to feel betrayed or relieved. You dream running. You don't dream happy endings, just a momentary escapade, pounding hearts, the bittersweet flavour of freedom.
