Resemblance

You know,

We imagine what our perfect world would look like

That dream in fantasy land 

Then we remind ourselves that it is not just fantasy and there’s a chance it becomes real


In real life, we find something 

Not quite what we dreamt of

But a good semblance of it 

So we hold it with our dear lives 

Because it is the closest thing we’ve seen to our dreams

And scared that this is the closest we will ever get


Or because we hope it becomes what we dream of

So we fight for it. 


Or maybe, we should just let it all go and hope our dream manifests perfectly in real life.
