Darkness exists
to make the light count
That's why stars
shine brightest
in the dark

At first
I thought
you were
a constellation
I drew
a map
of your stars
and then
a revelation
You are
as beautiful,
as endless
as the universe
I'm helpless in

You used to
sit on that
side of the sofa
stand on that
side of the room
drink from that
small white plastic mug
smell of that
fragrant perfume

You used to
write on
my blue notebook
sing everywhere
about any tune
go to the museum
to have look
talk to me
in the afternoon

You used to
sleep on this
side of my shoulder
rest your hands
next to mine
think about
when we'd get older
speak without
minding the time

You used to
do all these things
when you and I were
sadly, all that's left
is a blur

are the
best liars
I know
when
we say
"I'm okay"

The universe
is cruel
but
we don't
have to be

that you were afraid
of losing people
well
look where
I stand now

I'll admit
You and I
are from
different worlds
two different sides
you had yours
and I had mine
but
was there
ever one moment
where you wanted
to be a part
of my world
as I have to yours?
