I fell in love
down by the shore,
where the water was sweet,
and the air even more.
A field of sunflowers
stretched out before us.
You plucked one
and placed it in my hair.
You said I was beautiful,
and I believed you.
Lazy days of chain-smoking
and drinking too much
made me melt like butter.
I was lost and now I'm found.
I was alone and now I'm not.
I found myself at the end of myself
and forever continue to do so.
