The Dress

throw away the paper
the plan is plain
the dress is back
i see beauty again
shedding a foolish tear of joy
how dare they toy with my emotions
when the dress is gone for good
my tears will fill an ocean

Wanna know a secret? This is not about the Michael Kors emoroidered botanical-print dress; even though in many ways it is.  For only $395, I could have that dress in my life forever.  For weeks, I would see that beautiful dress on my way into work and seeing such beauty brought a lot of joy in my life. And then it was gone. I never thought I'd see it again but in exactly 7 days, the dress re-appeared on display... and I was really happy that it was back. But now I'm realizing that the dress will never be in my life permanently and that one day it will be gone for good and that makes me preemptively sad.

The dress is a metaphor for you. Peace out.
