once...

once upon a time, there was that smile
that's so infectious and can go for a mile,
a smile that holds the love-- unconditional and true,
a smile that has a reason and the reason was you.

there was a time when the starless sky still shine,
that was the time when i still knew you're mine.
there was a time when words are spoken like a song,
i never knew then that that time won't last long.

once in my life, i have loved wrong.
i pray for happiness then you came along.
you reached for my hand and let me out of my shell
and i started dreaming which didn't end well.

once there was an oath, a promise bound by a ring,
a walk to infinity with love as our everything.
there were ups and downs, tears for joy and pain
never had a clue that in our summer, it will rain.

now here i am lamenting near the grave of hopes and dreams,
trying to get a grasp for nothing;s what it seems,
and in that same place, i'd kneel again and pray,
for my heart to stop beating for love's great dismay.

i pray now for a lasting time when i can have that smile,
a time to make all these tears i shed worthwhile.
i pray for that time that i'd forever be happy too,
a time for someone to break my infinity, a time for love so true.
