You met me in the winter When I was a petal, Something you desperately wanted t… You loved me in the summer, Underneath the palm oil trees

It’s like waking up from your best… To find that it’s all gone. When you love someone who isn’t re… And you say, “I’m done.” It’s like swimming in Heaven,

You’re horrible, And I hate you. But this is me. I’m the only person That I can’t escape.

In my daydreams, I used to be an acrobat, Flying through air Into capable hands. In my dreams,
