Dare to dream?

Is it okay to dream?

Is it “better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all?”*

Is it okay to dream?

About the dreams that will never come to me.

They seem just out of reach.

Just. There. Just. Those dreams.

I feel like “I’m running down a dream that never would come to me.”*

Will it? Will it ever come to me?

Can I touch it? Does it cause my skin to tingle?

Can I taste it? Does it cause me to salivate?

Can I see it? Does it cause temporary blindness?

Can I feel it? Does my body shut down from the joy of it?

Dare to dream?

Is it okay to dream?

Am I giving my mind something it can’t have?

Just because I dream it? Name it. That doesn’t make it real?

Is it okay to dream?

Do I dare to dream?
