Once, in a Dream

Once, in a Dream
I must have dreamt of you
- for I can even remember your name -
Why didn’t you fall in love
      with me too?

Once, in a Dream
I must have lost my mind
- for I can even remember the pain –
Of having everybody stare at me
      from behind!

Once, in a Dream
I must have fallen in love
- for I can even remember the pangs –
That took hold of my heart
           with its fangs…
