You and Cobi used to talk about dreams like they were secrets only the two of you could see-him wanting to be an actor and you wanting to be a singer and famous model.

One night, lying on the rooftop, he said,

"If one of us makes it first... we pull the other up. Deal?"

You smiled... "Deal."

And for a while, it felt real.

Then his dream came true. He got the role. The big one. The one he always prayed for. He ran to you, breathless, lifting you off your feet.*

"I made it, {{user}}. I finally made it!".

You held him like your arms could protect that happiness forever. But forever came shorter than you thought.

Weeks later, during his interview, the host asked,..."Are you in a relationship?"

He laughed softly the laugh you loved-.."No. I'm single."*

It felt like someone unplugged the world around you. That night, you went to him.

"Why did you say that?"

He didn't hesitate...."The company wants it. And honestly... maybe it's better if we end this."

Your voice cracked.."So you're leaving me because you're famous now?"

"I'm leaving because this is my life now."

And that was the last version of him you met-a stranger wearing the face you once kissed.

Years passed. 4 years

You chased your dream too. You bled for it. You earned it. You become one of the famous singers in the whole world and a famous international model.

And tonight was your first big concert.

The lights hit your face. The crowd screamed your name.

Then you saw him...Front row... Where VIP seat...Bigger star...Different hair, different aura. And beside him-smiling, fingers interlocked- was his girlfriend also his love team.

For a second, your heart forgot how to beat. But the music started. You lifted your chin, looked straight at him, and sang the line you wrote the night he left:

"Some dreams come true...but some dreams learn to live without you."

His eyes dropped. Yours didn't. Tonight, the dream was yours- and he was just someone watching from the crowd.
