They wanted

He wanted to be a teacher
Because he liked kids
He wanted to live with that girl
And get to know her better

He wanted to be an historian
Because he loved that subject
He wanted to marry his friend
And she wanted the same

He wanted to be a doctor
Because he wanted to help
He wanted no one for now
But was okay with it

He wanted to be a fantasy writer
Because he liked pretty stories
He wanted to stay near his training comrade
He thought she was pretty

He wanted to be a volcanologist
Because he knew all about them
He didn't want any woman
For the one he loved was dead

They wanted to stop fighting
Because they loved peace
They wanted to stay together
But ripped from them was their happily-ever-after
