Manuel

I found myself under a cotton candy sky 

Opened my eyes as i layed on the dirt 

and they shortly met the sun, or may i call the light of our entire solar system

I found myself calling my own name, 

trying to reach for the truth of my existence

put my hands down to touch and feel and know that i’m real

but only i found skin, a skin that may not be mine anymore

i found myself in the middle of a storm 

and the storm was pretty because it wasn’t destroying anything

instead, it was destroying me.

Called out my own name so many times 

until it was just the sound of a whisper that could not be understood

And then… I remembered your face. 

Brown eyes, dark hair and the most beautiful voice.

Felt weird. I craved you, just like i craved water in a desert.

Sat down, looked around and didn’t recognise this place. 

No way to reach you, nowhere to go.

Didn’t even know why I was there, but…  

I found myself under a cotton candy sky

and all I could remember was how much I wanted you back.
