and it was not that I was everΒ really asleep

maybe
just half asleep and in a waking dream

but rest assure
my eyes are fully and truly open

still stinging
from the onion mist

and I now walk with a swinging lantern in my hand

you got my attention
and I finally see you

but probably much better than you see yourself
