( ) - Sigur Ros

...and what a five years it's been.

Ah, if only you could see me now. You might even believe I've finally paid for my sins. Maybe my tears have finally made an ocean the match of yours.

Five years ago, there were no tears. There was only starlight and an infinite horizon. A hayride, a wooden fence, and the same shoes I'm wearing now. My arm around your shoulders, your perfume in the cold October air. The world was at our feet, the stars in our eyes, and newborn love in our hands.

You called me "Prince Charming." You were the first princess I failed, but not the last.

Here's to the dream, the hope, the life I abandoned.
