I'm ever so lonesome. valwiggen@hotmail.com xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Floating on Dreams xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ahab once told me ''You choose what you float on''. The full meaning of the words never sank in until I remembered them later. When I look back now I realize I have been floating on dreams my whole life. Insubstantial wisps of smoke that are liable to disappear from underneath you and send you plummeting. The dream of being a doctor, gone. The dream of making a real difference at the FBI, gone. The dream of winning my fathers respect, gone. I realize that the only dream holding me up was the truth. My truth, Mulders truth, the whole truth and nothing but. This dream will eventually be realized or banished. Either will leave my on the floor. But somewhere, in the back of my mind, lies something else supporting me. Mulder, and the belief he floats on. As soon as one is gone, another takes its place. Ever changing, yet stable. In the end it will be Mulder who saves me. I can only save him as long as the dreams I am floating on stay true. Mulder once told me that I made him a whole person. My insubstantial dreams, his flickering beliefs. But we complete each other. He doesn't realize the only reason I can be so strong is that someone has always needed be to be thier strength. Left alone, I would collapse into my sea of dreams. But from the moment he kissed me, my ocean has been full of trust and security in the knowledge that, no matter what happens, there will always be, Mulder.
