With all the challenges
I’ve been through
and all the struggles
I’ve seen
no matter what I refuse to believe
A dream is just a dream.

A truth I wasn’t ready for
I loved you
But you loved you more.
- The Dalema.
I’d do it all again –
Run through the pain
Eyes wide open
A million times
Over and over
If it meant –
For one last time
I could fall asleep with you
Laying my head
On your shoulder

You were like a fine wine
I couldn’t afford
And every time I saw the bottle
It made me want it more
I could see you in my glass
The mood set by candlelight
Scared of what I knew was coming
I told myself ‘afford it tonight’
Tell the server to leave the cork
Then swirl, inhale – take a sip
Close my eyes and let them rest
Indulging in the lusciousness
Getting lost in the shades of grape
Tracing the rim with my fingertips
Before I knew it the bottle was empty –
Leaving purple stains on my lips
