There’s what you dream of
And there’s what you receive
And I know dreaming
Can be deceiving
Or hurtful

There’s what you want
And there’s what you get
And it’s true
That it takes an effort
To honestly welcome
Anything that crosses your way
For simply what it is

And some can get lost
In impossible expectations
Searching for something
That will never come

But there is a difference
Between concealing dreams
With reality
And running away from them
When they come knocking on your door
Because you’re so scared
That they might slip away
Through your fingers
Right when
You finally
Make the choice
To grab them

I will never
Choose to be
Disillusioned

I will never choose
To settle down
To a lower option
Because it’s easier to lose faith
Than keep on believing

So next time you see me
Look right into my eyes
And know that I will speak those words:
“I will never accept
Nor support
Your actions
Under resignation”

Dreams may seem an enemy
To reality
But there’s one worst
And that’s fear my dear

You keep coming back to me
Because a part of you still desperately wants
To look into my eyes
And feel that your dreams
Are still possible to realize

You will wake up one day
And when all the fire
That I love so much
Has finally burned out
You will feel empty
Like you have never felt before

There’s what you dream of
But more important darling
They’re what you decide
To make your dreams become
Closer to reality
