Dreaming of Defense: Why John Chavis will deliver better days

You lay there in complete darkness contemplating the past.

The only sound is the steady breathing of the person sleeping next to you.

You want to wake your significant other. You want to ask how it all got so bad. You want to ask if it will ever be that good again.

You remember when it was so exciting. It was so brazen. It was so magical. You couldn’t help but scream out in ecstasy.

Sometimes, you still do when revisited in dreams by those haunting images that jolted you awake.
