Do I dare dream?
It's that same feeling of disappointment when you wakeup from a really good dream and realize it was just a dream.
I saw myself dancing on rooftops, and I saw the stars shine brighter than I ever had before. It was a waltz to the Ryan Adams tune, "When the Stars Go Blue." The air was just sweeter, the sky clearer, everything felt new. And you can feel your eyes shinning against the glow of the stars, you feel yourself sparkle, but then you begin to flicker and you see the stars go blue.
I felt six lifetimes of memories rush through me. Christmas mornings, jumping in puddles together, breakfast in bed, wrestling, and being tickled til I peed my pants. I saw it all. I saw La Dolce Vita.
And then you wakeup and plant your feet on the ground. You accept the fact that you can't see your future, but what you CAN see is all the things you hope it will be.
That's what it was. Because I was hoping for lifetimes of memories together.
And what do you do when the dream is over?
You let out a heavy sigh, and you say to yourself, "This is my life, and I will make the most out of everything and everyone I have." But, you don't lose hope in all those things, because you know it can all still happen, but sitting around dreaming about them won't make them come to you. You have to work for all your dreams and hopes. You've got to let that hope be your drive. You have to want it with all your heart. You have to be willing to lose everything for that little moment that you may come to call your Happiness. You have to do more than dream the dream. You've got to live that dream.
I've been working with the hope that someday I won't have to wakeup from that dream.
When you brave yourself to finally make that leap of faith, where will you land?
