Why did we stop flying

graceful gestures

swinging and swimming

dancing colors flow above my head

you are always somewhere close to me

in the warm of the sun, the lightness of the clouds

in the trees moving with the wind, as a bird passing by

i just closed my eyes for an instant

and you're laying by my side

so quiet and cold

so pale and still

so tell me

why did you stop flying?

is it my eyes or is it you

or is it just the thing between us

so silent and grey

so desperately grey

could you just tell me

why did you stop flying?

you stopped flying for me

why did we fall?
