Today, we carried the world in our pockets
We ran away.
We landed near the tree where you always chose to stay
We played outside while we waited for the rain
We had a lovely day.
We let the sun shine through the blossoming of every moon
The sky felt smooth, and when the rain finally fell,
You smiled, calm, and steadily glowing, blooming against any rain that would ever have to fall again.
And just like the flowers in the end, you laid there, unharmed, waiting.
Today, we had a lovely day.

Today, we carried the world in our pockets
We ran away.
We landed near the tree where you always chose to stay
We played outside while we waited for the rain
We had a lovely day.
We let the sun shine through the blossoming of every moon
The sky felt smooth, and when the rain finally fell,
You smiled, calm, and steadily glowing, blooming against any rain that would ever have to fall again.
And just like the flowers in the end, you laid there, unharmed, waiting.
Today, we had a lovely day.
