"dreams"

I came to you wanting.

You sent me away still wanting.

There are dreams,

which can never be fulfilled,

by one dreamer.

Interesting, short, but deep write here Randall....:)

I liked the first line.....I came to you wanting.....
Then the subsequent disappointment at not havng the dream fulfilled...

Food for thought...

Thank you, BB73. Seems like in our younger days, we all had dreams, some just didn't match up. Thus, not being able to fulfill some of your dreams, and sometimes it's just finding that right person! I'll be over later to read some of your writings.
Thanks for the invite.

Spare and haunting—longing distilled to its barest, most human truth.
That final line lands heavy, reminding us some dreams need more than one heart to live.

[Randall]

Thank you, Thomas. Just like life lands heavily on us. You brace yourself and carry the load wherever it needs to go.
So, it is with dreams as well!

Such a tender way of naming the loneliness of a one‑sided dream. It feels like a sigh held in the palm. As always, your writing is sweet, Randall.

[Randall]

Thank you, Curly Grace. Sometimes one must re-read the dream and create a dream more acceptable to both people concerned.

Thank you again.

A short poem conveying real disappointment. Always a heartache when dreams can’t be fulfilled Randall. All the best.

Chris, thank you for your review. and concern. But this is just an observation from a relationship many, many years ago. I really do appreciate your concern, and all the best. Could have used it back then. So, I'll put it in my pocket for later, okay, Chris. :)
