You ruined reality for me.
I was perfectly happy with the rotation of the earth on its un-straight axis.
I was content with knowing it was warm rather than feeling it.
I was comfortable glancing at sunsets from car windows.
I was at ease waking with the sun already up, I never once felt the desire to watch it rise.

But you ruined all that for me.
You came along and tore down my wallpapered world.
You showed me what real life was, like the pictures in frost, and the strength of the tree limbs we would sit on.

You taught me to look at the world and really see it, to really experience it.
Now I can see the heat waves through the window and hear the light crunching of grass under my shoes on a winter morning.
I was barely aware of the colour of the rain before you turned up and opened my eyes.

And though in this new reality I've been happier than ever before, I know that I could also reach that other extreme, that I could be more hurt, more saddened than ever before too.
And that scares me.

I couldn't go back even if I wanted to but now it's your responsibility.
Keep away those dark clouds.
Don't let me see the pain and filth with this same clarity.
Instead continue to teach me that a sunset is made beautiful by the emotions you feel rather than the pollution in the air.
Take my hand as we run through the fields and ruin our shoes in the mud.
Laugh with me for no reason other than we’re together.
Smile when I fall into the river and then jump in with me.
Sit up with me all night so we can watch the sun rise.

You destroyed my reality.
Take reasonability and keep this new one alive.
Dont know where this came from, the good weather probably.

LOL. Rose-covered glasses cannot hide the truth for long.
