Dream until your dream comes true they say as they secretly take away what we ache for, Standing here in front of what I could’ve been, The empty words, empty stories of where I should've been haunt me because I desperately know what I’m missing. The life I could be living The love I could be feeling The memories captured in photographs The lessons learned through laughs Dream until your dream comes true they said as they ripped it from the tip of our fingers, Leaving us cold and alone with nothing but words left unheard .
