all my nightmares left their playgrounds in the dark to shadow dance in the light

and I was left silver lining fishing for you in the sea of uncertainty in spite

of the fact that I knew that the You I fell in love with didn't exist and sue

me for repeatedly leaving but in the end I always couldn't resist returning to you,

faithful, forgiving tide to the moon who showed a different face every night
