It's funny how a dream can be ripped away from you in less than a second

You're in shock for so long that it doesn't feel real

But it is

The one thing that you have always dreamed of was almost in your grasp

But then it wasn't

If only you took one step more

If only you ran a tiny bit faster

You would have had it

You would be elated

This dream was the only realistic one you had

The only one that could ever happen

The only one that seemed like a possibility

But now it's over

You're too late

And now

You must move on

From the dream that was almost in your grasp
