&quot;It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.&quot; --Albus Dumbledore. <br /> * I can&#039;t seem to follow this quote at all, but I still love it.


I turn the pages of my little book
It's some time, how 'bout a look
My mind decives, a toll it's took
But my heart still hopes, for what's in the book

One last flip, I know every page
The story locked inside a red bound cage
The words pop out as if in rage
But my heart is there, right on each page

All senses gone, my minds aside
My thoughts are free, like a wave high tide
My heart's immense, my eyes are wide
I'm happieness, realities aside

As my eyes speed through the lines of black
I realize again, the story has no sad track
Nor anything to bring you back
To one's real life, where happy endings lack

There's one last page, around the bend
This book had many hearts to mend
And did so in a timely trend
But then I see the word, "The End."
