It's sad, when you think of all the dreams
We are forgetting
-every minute we lose one more.
Like Autumn leaves
dying and then
falling away-
-Forgotten evermore.

Maybe those dreams fly on the wind-
-until they reach the sky
And become stars
Watching us from up high.

But also
             Maybe not.

Because forgotten dreams
aren't shiny and beautiful
                     they're just sad.
And also
because there aren't
       near enough stars to represent
           All the dreams
                     we ever had.
