Sometimes I stare too directly into the sun
and see images burned forever onto my brain
Sometimes my heart hardens so much it cracks
from the slightest pressure
Sometimes I play my music too loud so that
the sound never leaves me
And when I hold her hand
my feet never touch the ground
as we walk together
But it's all just a dream
I never stare at the sun, never have been
a hard man, never play sweet music too loudly
But once, I do remember,
I held her hand, and finally yesterday
my feet came back to earth
