Love Dream

I woke up this morning from a dream. In the dream, the person I loved, loved me back. He confessed he loved me for years. I was so touched by my dream that I woke up thinking it was real. I got dressed thinking I was in love. I drove to work feeling in love. I carried on the rest of my day being in love. The sad reality of this is that I am not in love. I am not in love with anyone and no one loves me. I have come to realize that as I age, falling love has become more and more difficult. As much as I do not like to admit it but I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in love at first sight. I believe in simple love. I believe that love cannot be replaced with convenience, pure companionship, or money. If you do not love someone, do not be with them. If you love someone, love them unconditionally.
