and i didn't expect the sun to open
the chorus to start singing
or infinity to be possible
love isn't the cure for the damaged
a drink to ail the sick
some enlightenment to be experienced
or a brilliant discovery to untie life's sturdiest knots
i know this wholeheartedly
but in the moment
you looked my way
with such simplicity
that i knew maybe it might not be okay now
but the blow hit me less
and i would be alright eventually
as long as you looked at me
