I close my
eyes





And it’s just you and me






The world melts away






We’re in the grassy meadow




you weren’t there
The sun is shining





Because it has to be


Because you’re the sunshine
Only I’m not with you
I close my eyes tighter
We’re running in the meadow
Hand in hand
Yours is bigger
Stronger
I fall over, exhausted
Laughing and happy
Except the sun isn’t shining
And it’s dark
And it’s cold
And alone
You’re not there
I reach out for you
and grasps air
nothing to hold on
you weren’t there
I close my eyes
