ever after

I thought I would be
happily ever after by now,

at this place in my life,
holding that she, my wife,

this dream I found, and then I knew,
my love for was so very true.

But the chances slipped away,
by the one by one.

True love came, then I watched it go,
by the tear by tear.

How does a world give only to take,
I really need to know,

this would help me to just let go,
on these dreams of mine.

So close,

so close, 

and I held them in my heart,
as I held her in my arms.

Great dreamer that I be,
it begins to seem to me,

that no dream will come true,
if it couldn't come in you.
