Where the Ink Runs Dry

Once Upon a Dream

There was a time

Safely tucked away in my bed

Where I chose to dream, and tried to look for a solution to stop my heart which always bled

So I wandered far beyond the sunset horizon and found you instead

There was a chance taken

Deals made

Our hearts were breaking

So we became each other's remedy

But that was once upon a dream

There was a time

When your eyes shone like the diamond waters of the sea

Every time you looked at me

And I would look at you as if you were all I could see

But that was once upon a dream

There was a time

When our hands and legs would intertwine

And we would laugh about the silly things in our minds

As we thought about endless times 

But that was once upon a dream

There was a day

When to the slow beat of the music, our bodies would sway

And all of our stresses and sorrows would fade away

And our deep love was the only thing that kept us at bay

But that was once upon a dream

There was a time

When I had loved you more than anything 

And it seemed like happiness was all you would bring 

When I let you tear down all my walls

And I drifted in your dangerous waters

But your voice only haunts the halls 

And now I know my heart was only yours to slaughter

But our love was never made to last, was it?

Such a silly thing we believed in

Love. It's a fantasy that makes our hearts gleam

But love is only once upon a dream
