You should have a dream, still you should not remain in the dream for ever. You have to come down and face the present environment, work in the presence, don't worry about the past and never be concerned about the future, take right decisions in the presence and go forward in your life. You'll never have to nregret.

they happened to us, what
we did wrong.

time dreaming about a
brighter future, about the
things we would like to do or
become one day

me that yesterday is gone,
tomorrow is not yet here,
