A Dream Within A Dream
by Edgar Allan Poe Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
argh! i had this little fight with a dear friend.well he's one of my closest friends but i don't if he knows that i consider him as one.he's one the the few people i can tell my darkest secrets to but now, he really did hurt my feelings.
this happened several times already but i forgave him beacuse he promised he wouldn't do it again.but sadly,he did it again and it really pissed me off!!! he lied to me,after all this time,i thought he trusts me but he doesn't.i cried last night because of this.i don't know, im just so hurt...
he kept on saying sorry and asking what he can do to make it up to me.but i just can't find room for forgiveness right now...maybe in the coming days but certainly not now.beacuse of this, i won't give a damn from now on!he can't expect anything from me, not a single thing.this should give him a lesson.coz if it wouldn't....i don't what else to do...
