I Still Remember

I still remember the day
I first put on glasses
Everything looked so crisp and clear
But what I didn’t expect
Was the color
The way it jumped into my vision
The brightness of the clarity

I still remember the day
I first put on trust
It was like floating, burden-less
But what I didn’t expect
Was everything to look so small
Sitting there next to You
Seen from a thousand miles high

I still remember the day
Reality put on my fear
It was deep and black and choking
But what I didn’t expect
Was to find You there
To be pressed but not crushed
To find my trust still held, my vision clear
