Have You Ever Given Up On a Dream?Performance

We spent all summer journeying together. He walked beside me and I beside him. Day after day I would ask questions. Some laughably insignificant while others heart-wrenchingly deep. But each and every question allowed us to share the deepest moments of our lives with one another.
I vividly remember the day were our roles became reversed and he challenged me with a question. As soon as I heard the words come out of his mouth, the immediacy of my answer shook me to my core.
He asked, "Have you ever given up on a dream?"
Because I am strong-willed, determined and persistent, I can almost always accomplish what I set out to do. Buy my response to his question was one in which no matter how hard I tried, my dream was out of my control.
I have always dreamed of being loved. But it never seemed to happen. Instead, heartbreaks seemed to silence my dream, fading my desire for love out of my conscientiousness. That one simple question woke me from a great sleep.
And because of that one question many months ago, I am actively opening up my heart again. I am recognizing the weight of a silenced dream that I have carried for far too long. As I am allowing myself to feel love, I find myself emerging our of a deep thaw. I am allowing myself to feel a set of emotions I thought were out of my realm of possibilities. But my desire for love is not long just a dream. I have welcomed love into my reality.
