Sometimes, (a lot of times) I let myself fly too close to the sun and I get burnt, I can't help it. It doesn't matter how much I try to keep my feet on the ground, I always end up flying high in my own spiral of dreams and illusions and I find it very hard to come down.

It is hard because I don't really want to come down. I like it there. Everything is better when my head is up in the clouds. But when you see life through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.

This is nobody's fault but my own, because I can't seem to learn from the past. Actually, I do not think there's been anything to learn about the past; because those feelings, dreams and ideas made me feel more good things than bad things and I treasure them dearly.

Unfortunately, the bad things tend to be stronger. They come and swipe everything away and I am just standing there, witnessing the downfall of my latest dream. I just pick up the pieces of my broken dreams and back away...

Sometimes, (a lot of times) I let myself fly too close to the sun and I get burnt. But it doesn't matter, because when my dreams reborn from its own ashes once more, I will be ready to fly again.
