Dreams only break your heart.

The respite of sleep brought me dreams that will never be.
I was able to hold her, to hear her, and to look into her beautiful coffee eyes. She smiled at me, the way she could with her whole face, the way that made me believe I was in her heart.

Then I woke up and it was all gone again. Just like real life.

I haven't had a peaceful rest since that day she didn't say it back... I felt like I'd been left on a deflating raft in the middle of the ocean as she waved goodbye from the fading stern of a ship.

Dreams only break your heart.

So it goes.
