Dreams

What happened along the way?

By angela hepworthPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

somewhere along the way for us

you became ordinary

and I became afraid

what we once had was

not tangible

that it was

all a

dream

    Sad!! Deftly described in this poem - moving from love to gray to wondering if it was not real.
