Far beyond the beach, somewhere in the water, float away my dreams I wish I'd held on longer. Now I'm finally letting go. Have you seen my dreams? Because I haven't. Not since that day... The day I threw my life away.

I was very stupid, I know, and far away my dreams will go. But goodbye dreams of mine, maybe I'll see you another time.

It's been years since that day, I no longer rely on dreams because I know that they will leave. Now I focus on reality. I myself prefer the dreams, if only they hadn't left me..

I wrote this last year, and it might not make as much sense not as it did when I wrote it, but I still like it.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don&#039;t stay down. When in doubt, don&#039;t stop believing.
