If you are going to love a dreamer
You can not be controlling
You can not be manipulative
their spirit
their passion
would be sacrificed
because of their love for you
because of their love of you
it would be because of you
love ultimately fermented into resent and hate
dreams turned to nightmares at the very mention of your existence
You can not be weak
You can not be moveable
Their fire
their vision
would juggernaut the mightiest of the weary
tears shed in the quiet of the dark
desires whispered in the secret of shadows
would never be known to them
The dreamer is Blind
not deaf
not dumb
If you are going to love a dreamer
You must be courageous
You must be adventurous
To love a dreamer is to bed risk
To love a dreamer is to set a permanent place for gamble
the acknowledgement of chance
the acceptance of failure
Loving a dreamer is to know
the only place of honor
is not with them
is with the dream
Loving a dreamer is to know
the only pedestal
is not for them
is reserved for the dream
Loving a dreamer is to know
they will love you
position their lives around you
but their purpose
their only purpose
is the dream
