In the end I fell asleep partway through, and I can’t remember the title of the film
I look up at the intertwined branches in a small, ghostly park
The chains on the swingset were cold, and the sky was colder yet
A nostalgic voice calls out to me a little before the time we were supposed to meet
Seeing me after such a long time, you laughed as if nothing had changed
Eternal sunshine, like nothing had happened
Eternal sunshine, like we loved one another
Eternal sunshine, seeing you smile at me
Was unbearably sad
It was sad
“It’s been a while,” we both said, and our speech seemed constrained somehow
The beautiful daffodils seem out of place, and they sway in the uncertain breeze
Even though the two of us had laughed together so much, even though the two of us had joked around so much,
Even though the two of us had been together so long, we were in a conversation that couldn’t go on
Eternal sunshine, like nothing had happened
Eternal sunshine, like we loved one another
Eternal sunshine, seeing you with your hair cut
Was unbearably sad
It was sad
In the end I fell asleep partway through, and when I woke up, you were crying
“How could you go and fall asleep?” you asked and instantly started laughing again
You were laughing
Eternal sunshine, like nothing had happened
Eternal sunshine, like we loved one another
Eternal sunshine, seeing you smile at me
Was unbearably sad
It was sad
