This or that?

I wanted one thing and not the other

I got the one I wanted.

Then one turned into the other, I thought.

When I discovered what I had really had,

I was confused, shattered.

I had what I had wanted in the first place and not the other.

But now I think I want the other.

Let me try this again.

I wanted this and not that

I got this and it turned into that, or so I thought.

Although devastated to find it was, after all, this and not that.

I decided to keep this temporarily.

But now I think I would like the other, with another.
