When dreams...

When the people around you
Your family-
Your friends-
Your classmates-
Your roommates-
achieve their goals and go on with their lives
while you wait on the sidelines for your moment to come...
what do you do then?

When you remember the hope of the world wrapped tight in the arms of
A child-
A star-
A life-
A future-
but that hope has long since left your world
and run to the arms of someone who can hold it closer than you...
what do you do then?

When everything you thought that
Will be-
Would be-
Could be-
Should be-
is no more than a distant memory
that fly on wings of loss and regret to the sky above only to look back...
what do you do then?

When you reach out to
Hold on-
Grasp-
Take-
Posess-
but your fingers only close on thin air
thinner than the air that fills your lungs while your flame flickers then wavers for a brief moment...
what do you do then?

Do you hide in your bed under the covers that used to keep you so safe?
Do you run and never come back only to be filled with regret?
Do you give up and let your dreams slide down your cheeks to fill the oceans with your sadness?

I've done that.
I've regretted.
I've been there.

I've also opened up.
I've also been content.
I've also been there.

Dreams die. But they also live.

What will you do with them?
