I dreamt last night of someone waiting at the end of an aisle And the sunbeams streamed through a morning mist The piano clinked a charming tune I walked through a garden towards them But I think it was me watching myself from my partner's view Because my parents were at my sides It was as if no time had passed at all And that's how I knew it couldn't have been me Because my dad was tearing up And maybe he would, But I find it hard to believe that a man so averse to joy Would be there and happy for me But that's not the point I was happy and it was more than a dream Because it was a wish for something I desperately want to come true
I'd say I'm not a dreamer but I still hope for things that I know I will never have
I went to therapy again and decided that maybe I don't need it anymore But then I sit up at midnight journaling and writing poetry in my notes app I said I want to find happiness in the moment Instead of forever grasping at it, never holding it
