I don't know. I'm really close with my best friend here. If I woke up one day and she was gone, I would feel like part of me was missing. I like to think we're almost sisters. If you and your friends are really close, it makes sense that you'd feel that way. I don't think love is just between two people in a relationship. You can love your best friend in a totally different way and it's just as strong.
I'm really sorry that they're not here. I guess in your case, the Dreams aren't all that bad because you get to see them. And maybe they are here somewhere, and you just don't know it. Maybe you haven't met yet.
