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.

- Comment from author about the poem: How do you know what you really want? I thought I wanted one thing and I got it. I thought it turned into another. But it didn't. I discovered that I didn't want what I thought I want. Now I want the thing I thought it had turned into.
