Someone Like Him (repost)

I never wanted to become
someone like him, so secure,
content to live each day just like the last...
I was sure I knew that, this was not for me
and I wanted so much more, far beyond what I could see...
so I swore that I'd never be someone like him

So many years have passed
since I proclaimed my independence, my mission, my aim,
and my vision so secure,
content to live each day like it's my last !
It's wonderful to know that I could be
something more than what I dreamed,
far beyond what I could see...
Still, I swear that I'm missing out this time...

As far as I could tell, there's nothing more I need
but still I ask myself, "Could this be everything ?"
That all I swore that I would never be was now
so suddenly, the only thing I wanted to become...


... to be someone just like him.
