• I watched the beautiful rain pour down
    The drops glistened against my window pane.
    My head was wrapped up in the cotton clouds
    Watching all of the wonderful, clear beauty

    Everything was perfect about that moment
    And I wanted to stay there, forever and ever
    But then reality's voice came back and screamed
    For me to wake up and not pretend.

    So I woke up in the fragile dawn
    With a damp pillow that smelled like tears
    And a heart so heavy, I thought it would crush me
    While the last of the night fade into day.

    And all of the time, I was thinking and thinking
    About the box that lay next to me on my bed
    A wrapped box, and I wondered if it was for me
    But one look inside told everything to mind.

    The box was empty.
