A Sea of Dreams
by
Heather Nicole Luther
Love...
Is it real or is it not?
Either way it’s not much to believe in
After you’ve given it all you’ve got.
Love is simply one of those things
That can bring happiness or gladness,
But in the end it all turns out
All you feel is sadness.
For those who manage to find it
Think they know what love means,
But they eventually begin to realize
That nothing is how it seems.
As for the remaining ones, however
Love they cannot find,
But all they seem to want
Is acceptance of some kind.
They set and watch the "love birds"
To see how their happiness seems,
But then they stop and wonder
If love exists only in a sea of dreams.
They look down in the streets below
To see all the smiling faces,
And they dearly wish they had it
As their hearts, for it, races.
As time goes on
They see what love brings,
And then they start to see
That happiness is more than love sings.
They notice the people changing
To see some of the grief they show,
And they wonder what their heart feels
So deep and down below.
The people who thought they found it
In the end only loose it,
And that is when they realize
That they regret it just a bit.
For the people who never found it
Wonder if it was for the worst or for the best,
But the only thing they know
Is that at least their hearts can rest.
They look back and remember
How great things really seemed,
But then they don’t regret not searching for it
Because they know love only exists in a sea of dreams.
And to the hearts that longed for it
They see the misfortune of the team,
And then they begin to believe
Of the love in the sea of dreams.
