My best friend Ben came to see him. I was out somewhere and he saw me. I couldn't tell who it was but he came out of nowhere and hugged me. I didn't know who it was at first but I saw the tattoos on his neck and knew it was him. He wore a black band shirt, and hat, and khakis. He was crying subtly happy tears. He asked where I wanted to go, and I said I don't know. We walked together holding hands through the old neighbors backyard in the snow, until we found a spot that was beautiful. The whole neighborhood turned into cobblestone, and the houses looked old like in a fantasy fairy tale. We kept going until we found a spot to sit and talk. It was underneath a ship that was docked. We sat and watched it together. I asked him some things about us. I wanted to know if he thinks it would've been best if we would've stayed together instead of me leaving him, and he said "no" without showing any emotions. It hurt my feelings a little but I understood that he realized that if he hanged on to me, he would've ruined my life due to drugs. I smiled and said "I think it would, because of happy to we had like this." I knew I was lying to make him feel good. We continued on to a shop that was selling perfume. I sprayed a strawberry scent with a mix of berries. Instead of smelling the scent he sprayed a males cologne over mine. I got into his car and he loaded the bags of things he bought me. I saw McDonald's that was hardly eaten. I asked if he was hungry and he said he wasn't hungry. I told him he needed to eat but he couldn't. I bagged his uneaten food and put it away in the back of his car. One thing I wanted to do before the dream ended was ask him about his death. But I couldn't find a way to bring it up to him. Maybe in the next one. This one was a wonderful dream.
