To those who missed out on dreams

Dear people-who-missed-out-on-oppurtunities-they-call-dreams,

Sometimes life doesn't go your way.
Slipped from the edges of your fingers
Or a little too far to reach

The only torment being that
Regret seizes you because
You didn't bend down to pick it up again
Or stretch just a little farther.

Sentimental, you call me, naive if you must.
But the saying "When a door closes, another opens"
Sheds a ray of truth.

Just so : for all we know
it is natures' way of leading you to a better route
Even though you know your chance of the past
would have gotten you far.

Sometimes life doesn't go your way,
Or maybe, and yet, it is.

One can escape a tunnel
Without a torchlight
Let your tears wash it but
never let it drown the sea.

Try the door at the corner
And who knows?

It still gets you your way.

To you-know-who-you-are,
Supernovas don't always lead to blackholes, if you know what I mean.
