doesn't matter

Like a dream when you wake up
and the dream goes away.
Before you forget
or before you remember
and hope drains out of the day.

Like something you thought of,
but didn't think to say.
Of course it was nothing
but still feels like something,
like some dropped line in a play.

The time that you spoke up
but didn't get your way.
Say what you want,
you made your point
but that doesn't make it okay.
