I Dreamed a Dream Once I dreamed a dream once, soft and bright, A love that burned like stars at night. Your voice, a whisper in the dark, A fleeting touch, a fading spark. I reached for you with trembling hands, But love was built on shifting sands. Each step I took, the tide would rise, Drowning hope in hollow lies. Your heart was never truly mine, A ghost I chased through endless time. I begged the wind to bring you near, But all it left me was the fear.
