I don’t want to be close to you
I used to think you were the sun
Holding me in your orbit
Keeping a solar system in balance
But I don’t think so any more
I know now you are a shooting star
Falling into my atmosphere
Moving so fast
But burning to nothing
Very little chance you will land
I look outward into the night sky
To the vast possibilities it holds
Nebulas, galaxies
I see the constellations
I wonder where I fit
So whilst you pitch your tent for the short
I pack my bag for the long
I gaze at what the future holds
I am coming for you
Just you wait
Countless beauties in far off reaches
I float effortless
In a moment I see all that was
What will be
What is
I see the wisps of gas
All that remains of a star more powerful than I can imagine
Yet gone before I knew it existed
It is here that I belong
A mess of chaos and beauty
I have forgotten your name
That which should have sounded so sweet
It did for a while
But you too have gone
Faded into black
