Surreal Experience
I know that this isn't real,
But the hurt I feel is.
Seeing you in that car made my heart cry out for you,
But my head knew you would be able to answer its call.
Reality hit me when I saw your beautiful eyes sealed shut forever,
Even though I know I will see them once more.
Some people may never understand why my emotions took control of me for that hour,
But I know deep down you know why.
I sit here and wonder why people do such things like drink and drive,
But I cannot get any answers that will soothe my aching heart.
I know the Shattered Dreams program was created to change lives,
And I can say that I was changed in a dramatic way.
I know the wreck was fake and you really weren't killed by a drunk driver and found dead at the scene,
But the emotions and pain I felt thinking that you were dead were very real to me.
Love has no boundaries and allows me to constantly be with you,
But death makes all those boundaries appear and takes you from me.
I love you so much and this experience made me very certain of this,
So please don't do something like this.
I couldn't bear loosing you to something as tragic a drunk driving accident.
***My school performed the "Shattered Dreams" program today, and it was to raise the awareness of just how often teenagers are killed in an accident due to drunk driving. My boyfriend was involved in this and volunteered to be the victim who was found DOA (dead on arrival). This event was especially difficult for me because I could do nothing to save him, even though Matt was alive in reality. I haven't spoken to him since this morning and him not being around has honestly made me think about how much I truly would be missing him. It hurts so much because he means more to me than my own life means to me. As I told him in a letter I wrote him, all I wanted to do today was protect him. But I couldn't and I felt so helpless. I know I shouldn't have been as upset as I was but it was so hard for me NOT to cry. I do not regret this whole experience though. I was changed today. And everyone involved in the Shattered Dream program is to be thanked for that. Matt if you are reading this, I love you so much. I am so proud of you and want to say thank you for doing this. It took alot of bravery and dedication to perform it as well as you did and I will never be able to express to you how proud I truly am of you. I love you....even more than you love me.

This is exactly the impact the program was designed to generate. Its sad that some teenagers dont take it seriously. Sadly enough Hope, I have been the friend of victims. Its no picnic. I just cant imagine what Lori Ann and Cokies mom felt. She lost all three of her babies with in two years, and Lori and Cokie on the same night. All to drunk drivers. I hope now every time you go to a party or anywhere where someone is drinking this comes to your mind and you never, ever get in a car with some one who is drinking or has been. This program is amazing in the fact that it seems so real. It should be done at as many high schools as possible! I love you little girl!
I agree. This program should be done in every school in America. It will definately change more people and maybe the accidents will become fewer and fewer. And I promise you right now that I will never get into a car with people who have been drinking. Or will I let them drive off. I love you too...
