Don't Dismiss Dreams

You thought you found love, while a naive youth. And asked God above, to confirm its truth. Yet that love would fade as the years slipped by. But those feelings stayed; and still make you cry. Breakups hurt so much, smiles morph into tears. And you shun love's touch, alone, with your fears. Unable to cope, you douse passion's flame. And imprison Hope; thinking it's to blame. Once you dim its light, hope cannot find you. And slips out of sight; making you feel blue. Despite what it seems, your life is not through. So, don't dismiss dreams; which may yet come true.
