Once

What do I want
What is it I wish for
The one that my heart deeply cares for
Is this what I want
Is it what I hope for
Decisions made from whims based on my impulses of

Once I dreamt
Of a fulfilled life
Of a happiness that everyone would be so envious of

Shining and shimmering
Bright and blinding

Is a dream
Just a dream
Always a dream
And only a dream?
