i've seen it.

seriously. i've saw a glimpse of what i've always wanted.
saw a glimpse of something that felt so right.
a glimpse of that glorious dream.

but there are no free deals in life.
be wary of things that are too good to be true.

so you stop yourself. arrest the motion.

take a step back and see it for what it really is.

and in a zap. flash. bittersweet nanosecond.

it's gone.

because you know it's not real. it's just the same ole game just with a slightly different set up.

and boy, you are sure as hell finished with playing games.
