I wonder...
How many of us would be happy to have reached our dream even if we couldn't hang on to it?
World champions in sports almost always come back to defend their title until they lose it for good.
Mountain climbers look for higher mountains until the highest is climbed.
Then what? Are they satisfied to have "been there done that"?
Or...
Do they feel a hollow place where their dream used to sit?
I tell Kathy that my dream is fulfilled, that SHE IS MY DREAM!
If ALL she was was JUST my dream, I could stop trying, my happiness assured.
(Cuz you can't take it away from me or pretend it never happened. Nyah nyah!)
Except my dream wasn't just to HAVE Kathy, it was, and still is,
to make her happy for the rest of her life.
Ouch. This dream just got complicated.
It's really hard to make someone happy if they don't want to be.
When you can't go back in time or take their pain away,
even Angels can only smile through tears for so long.
I have an imagination that never stops and a heart so full of my dream,
that it will never feel so hollow that my dream dies.
That means;
Kathy better hold on tight because HAPPY DAYS ARE COMING AGAIN!
