Once upon a dream

Once upon a dream,
she was mine,
for a time so sweet.

And we laughed,
and we loved,
and together
we had it all.

But the Autumn winds came,
and blew her love away.

And with it went my heart,
and with it went my dreams.

But for the futility of it all,
if her freedom,
she must have,

I chase no more,
I only bid adieu,

with a single tear,
for it was my last.
