&quot;If we don&#039;t live we don&#039;t dream, and if we don&#039;t dream our lives become a forced reality.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;we can&#039;t expect all of our hopes and dreams to turn into realities, but that&#039;s exactly why we have hopes and dreams.&quot;

Looking into this mirror
I see myself
But I'm standing off center
and out of place.

There's room next to me
and I stare at that empty void.
My body is so alone,
and the void remains.

I imagine you next to me
because in all honesty
I can't see myself
without you beside me.

When I imagine you there
the picture is complete.
Throw a frame on that mirror
and it would be a picture of our love.
