Sometimes I fall into the dark skyline
With paper trees and mountain cats
The world spins to me
As I flew away into the night as a paper fan

I watched you walk away
Down the sidewalk and pause today
As stars trailed the skylights
Leaving milky white ocean tides
And frost the moon with looking glass eyes

This was some combination of inside joke and promise of a song for my best friend. Dedicated to my love. ?
I know the tenses are off and it's completely intentional.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.
