dreams vs. reality

by Quinlan L Gibson

I had a dream
the other night.
I said,
"I love you"
and you said
it back.

I had a dream
a year ago.
I said,
"I love you"
on the phone
and you said
it back.

I had a dream
two years ago.
I whispered,
"I love you"
in your ear
and you whispered
it back.

I spent the weekend
just this past
I said,
"I love you"
and you said
"I know you do".

That stings! But that's how it becomes most of the times. Great one Quin!

Wishful thinking carried to a whole new level. Just remember to pinch yourself. :o)

When reality bites...... bite it back! Sometimes those 3 little words can be soooo hard for some people to say and sometimes those same 3 little words can be so hard for some people to live without! Nicely said Quinlan!
