As the sky went pink he turned and said to me
You know that you’re better than anybody
That was such a big statement so I turned back and said
Better than anybody you’ve ever met?
He said it was my mind, he could talk to me all day
My looks never once came into play
We sat on the sunflowers
Whilst the sun went down slowly for hours
He said the way I see things is magical and wonderful
I am brave and strong, but also vulnerable
As the sky turned orange he turned to me again
Please can you tell me, what is your name?
Amy I said, as the sky turned grey
He then turned around to me to say
Amy, you know the sky has been grey all of this time
I said let’s enjoy the last bit of sunshine
I picked him a flower but it stung his hand
He said it was a nettle, which I didn’t understand
I said what I’ve been seeing isn’t lies
You just need to look at life through fresh eyes
