Ten thousand dreams, I fell asleep in the arms of destiny. I cried when you carried me away to a land I always wanted, a land that never existed. I gave up life for something new, and in all my desperate longings, I found you.

I crawled into corners and loneliness came beside me. She carved a path that ran for years, and finally, fell into nothingness. Each year, my heart grew smaller and found ransom in each new soul. I wandered far and wide and in my dreams, I could never let you go.

Something broke and severed me from creation. I flew like a bird and forgot everything when we came undone. I knew what I wanted rested in the city lights and brimming waters. They flooded my soul and made me whole.

I had forgotten all that brought me here, and ten years later, I became someone new.
