when you were the sun of my universe
all the planets lit from the joy of your light.
we fall in love differently.
you pull the planets closer, i push them away.
for people like us
who connect each star in the time it takes to reach
our other halves, falling in love
is a constellation of moments where stars die.
but see how space with all its emptiness
and mass continues to move,
to expand.
we tried defying gravity to bring our bodies closer,
we tried to pass through each other,
to replace skin with air.
did i replace your willingness to believe
that it was possible to fly
with the pain of concrete?
i was never with you to leave you.
if anything, being with you was what grew the distance
between us. left us staring in awe at the emptiness
defying gravity opened up.
isn't it peaceful now?
to drift apart.
finally to disengage the breath
from the body, turn off
the need
the desire
the heart.
