The story of Icarus is often told as a love story
A story about a man who loved the sun but the sun didn't love him
But I don't think this is true
My bet is that he only wanted to have a taste of what he could not have
My bet is that he wanted to fall
He wanted to have gone so high that the only way left was to go down
And What a beautiful view it must have been too
Seeing your world go up in flames as you plummet down
And someday I hope that I too will see such a view.
