You think I'm sad not seeing that these black and white streets put me at ease, like closing my eyes and hearing music in the sunrise and that the rain brings me a sense of comfort. If only everything were that simple. For you, a vision put before you is all you see, I like the way the water looks when the sky swims through it, can u see it? Its a different kind of...........
