My Dream,Your nightmare,My thank you

by jamaal hooks   Mar 17, 2009


The day you left I felt as if someone had pulled the ground from under my feet. I began to fall in what
seemed to be a lifetime of pity and shame.
I cried so much until there were no more tears to
cry,like a well I had run dry. I blame myself for all
that happened between us and I shouldn't.
I wanted more than you were willing to give and
you wanted more than I had to give at the time.
nothing worth having happens overnight.
You just couldn't see that your dreams were almost true. In your eye's dreams were for people who didn't have anything else,all I had was you.
Dreams, my dream became a nightmare overnight.
Lets talk about dreams for a moment or two,nothing to big no dream was out of our reach.
You wanted a big house,I wanted to wait until we could afford it,I wanted kids you said the time wasn't right. I wanted to be a doctor,you wanted a hustler.
Still dreams do come true,I didn't become a doctor,but I'm happy with what I've become. No more sad days here nothing but blue skies from here on.
I have that big house you wanted and the kids you couldn't find time to give me. I have everything I ever wanted and someone who wanted the same.
You had your hustler,you know the one who left you with four kids to raise on your own. In an apartment that you can no longer afford any more.
I guess the money ran out just like you did me.The sad part is I would have never turned my back on you. never would I leave you to face the world alone.
I hope your dreams came true After three years mine did. I'm happier now than I've ever been and I owe it all to you. I never could have done it without you.
Wait a minute,I did it without you and with someone who understands that dreams are nothing without someone who shares the same vision.
Everything I am I owe it all to you. You left me for all the wrong reasons. I can never thank you enough for what you did for me.
