Dreaming Out Loud

W.W. Alyssa Cheng (18), The Netherlands

Life is all about learning how to live it. Dealing with love, friends, family, growing up. In the course of life, there is sadness, pain, sorrow but there will also be love, laughter, fun. All of them will be there in your life, at the right time, right place, right person(s).
But what if life was only just a dream?

Just seemed to be that I had made things worse than they were… Stupid me.

When you have given it your all, but it just wasn’t good enough.

‘I love you’ means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. ‘I love you’ means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping you feel the same about me.
