once upon a time.

Once upon a time, I promised them forever.  I promised to never leave this life that I knew.

Then I began to dream and, in dreaming, my heart changed.  I left the “had been” for the “could be.”  I left them behind for what my dreams promised me.

I’ve always been told that the unknown is sweeter than what you’ve tasted.  I hold to that promise like you held onto me.
