Stories are the realities
That you couldn't build
Emptiness is space
That could have once been filled

Goodbyes are the hello's
When you know somebody can't stay
Regret is the memories
That you wish would go away

Rain is the snow
When it's too warm to freeze
Wishes are the hopes
When your too tired to dream

And poetry is acting
Only without a stage
And opportunities are set dates and times
When you can make a change
