I'm dreaming of the memories
That have yet to come.
Desires of tomorrow
Swim before my eyes.
Sharing laughter and dancing
With the ones I long for,
Renewing hope.
The joys of the past blend
With the worries of the future
To mold bittersweet bliss.
I wake to dissappointment
That not a single thing was true.
Dwelling on what could
And should be.
Realizing that it can.
Today, I will live me dream.

The author's comments:
This poem was inspired by the exact situation it describes. Sometimes I will wake up and be thrilled by what just happened, only to realize it was I dream. I think others can relate to that.
