The Golden Beach of Hidden Betrayal Meaning & Interpretation

"Last night, I had a dream about my girlfriend. In my dream, we were at the beach. It was our favorite place. The sun was setting. Everything looked gold. She sat next to me. But she was not really there. Her eyes were on her phone. She typed fast and smiled at the screen. "Who are you texting?" I asked. "No one," she said. She turned the phone away. Later, she fell asleep on her towel. Her phone lit up. A message came. I looked at it. It was a photo of her. Laughing. With another man. His arm was around her waist. My hands went cold. I opened her photo gallery. More photos. Dinners I never went to. Places I never visited. Her wearing a dress I never saw. In every photo, she looked happy. Happier than she ever looked with me. She woke up and saw me holding the phone. She did not say sorry. She just said, "So now you know." The waves kept hitting the sand. Slow and steady. Like nothing was wrong. I wanted to cry, but the tears would not come. My chest just felt heavy, like a stone was sitting on it. Then I woke up. I checked my phone. No photos. No messages. It was all a dream. But the heavy feeling stayed all day. At dinner, I watched her laugh at my jokes. I wanted to tell her about the dream. But I did not. Some dreams are better kept inside. I just held her hand a little tighter."
