For years I have been dreaming his dreams,
Dreams that were never mine but became part of my life,
I adjusted and readjusted my personal goals, career goals, family goals, life goals,
Goals that were never his but became part of my life.
I dreamt of a new life every time things changed,
I hoped for the best every time he progressed,
I became just a drop of water in the ocean that he is trying to cross,
I forgot that my dreams just flew by as I held to his while swimming across.
As night falls and everyone sleeps,
I stay awake at night,
A night of serenity and fantasy,
It's only me and my time,
A time of contemplation and clarity,
As night falls and everyone sleeps,
It is clear to me that I cannot quit,
I cannot quit my passion and dreams,
So I let myself fall asleep,
As it is time to dream,
And welcome a new morning and new beginnings.
For years my dreams have not been essential,
Not been acknowleged for my true potential,
It's time I give credit where credit is due,
Its time I make my dreams come true.
