As you are tranced into the dreamlike prairie brimming with stark black beneath tips of fluorescent blue, an unexpected sense of longing calls out to you deep within the void. As you draw closer to this unknown source of desire, an unexpected warmth fill your blue-skinned cheeks as a faraway lullaby enters your hearing from the stars above.
Like every new beginning, the curtains unfold.
Once upon an unforgettable time,
This melody... Where have I heard it?
A dazzling light captured my eye.
With every mindless step towards the melody that flows over a resting hill, you find yourself in confused fanatical laughter as the makeshift dream comes to life.
Waltzing under stars of blue,
Perceivingly mystified by the heart of this tune, you twirl yourself in rhythm of the song - until you realize who's playing this was.
Life was grim until I met you...
Overtaken with bewilderment - but also desire, you find yourself racing across a never-ending hill without thinking twice as your bare feet graze against the soft texture of grass.
Memories so sweet and pure,
I miss you.
You dawned me a new life with friends,
But do you miss me too?
Never wanting it to end...
Your breathing becomes hoarse, yet your legs keep moving across this makeshift dream.
You moved, and...
And...?
Peering straight into your eyes,
You stop dead in your tracks as your eyes land on his silhouette, the moon blindingly visible.
Ruben.
I said, "We'll always - forever be back then."
Heart soaring, you sault across the hill and wrap your arms beneath his, damping his shoulder with your tears. "Please please please... Don't leave."
Chasing after dreams, medlies start to fade, scattered up across the wind.
He continues staring into the horizon without saying a word, as a sudden breeze brushes the field made up of magic spores against our skin.
Calling out to you, swept and cast away, the distance between us fades...
In the corner of his eye he catches one last glimpse of you. Then, without warning, his body sifts through your arms like withering sand as the wind sweeps him off the hill.
The unforgettable sound of his playing remains, as a sudden thud to your knees was all it took to break down into tears.
Forever be on my mind...
Yet, I'm always wondering why.
Memories led astray,
