Is a dream come true merely one dream less to dream?
Tracked down by web analytics, our dreams must be protected to survive. Neglect them to keep them irridescent!

after all a wish fulfilled
may not be a dream come true
but merely one dream less to dream

let me protect you
I will neglect you
my iridescent errors in disguise
