The thing about dreams is that even after you wake up it doesn't mean the nightmare is over.

Do you see

              how I love him true--

              it could have been you.

As for you

              and your love for she--

              it could have been me.

But we were a maybe,

              and never a must--

              when it should've been us.

                            -Lang Leav

We must lose everything in order to stand for something. 

And in that moment of anger, everything became clear.
