Dream (11/25/08)
I've been having strange dreams lately.
I recently had a dream that I was in love. That I was happy. Then I realized that "this must be a dream." And so, I told myself, "just enjoy it while you are here" and I did. But all the while I was dreading the moment when it would all fade and I would wake up.
And when I woke up, I was sad because I knew what I felt in the dream was not real. All I had left was the heartache of waking up, knowing that "yes, it was just a dream."
So is that how it happens in real life? Do you wake up one day and realize you are not in love? That it was just a dream? That it was never real?
It would be tragic if love really doesn't last forever. That one day it is just suddenly gone.
If love doesn't last forever, then how do you prove it was ever real to begin with and not just an illusion? Not just a dream?
How do you hold on to love when life gets in the way? How can you keep it from fading away?
And how do you know when to let it go? How do you decide to just wake up?
