When you said you loved me to the Moon and back,
how did you keep a straight face?

Did you own a calendar of love
measured by time and space?
You were always the one
who kept your distance
and counted down the days.

So tell me,
how long does it take you to get to the Moon and back?
Because I loved you till the Moon
but you never came back.
I love you to the Moon and back only made sense if you said it.

When I die the biggest death in your life's history
you will see me in every reflection on every store window
Where I live in the world of ghosts will no longer be a mystery
and you will stop crying into your pillow

When you are sleeping I will crawl out from underneath your bed
and protect you from all the evil spirits you've never known
were circling your room, waiting to tear your happiness to shreds
I will not surrender, for my love for you is as unbreakable as stone

When the news spreads around the day after
to all the classrooms and all the schools in the area,
I know you will be the only one who knows I am not hidden underground
I will be with you forever, capturing in my chest your laughter and hysteria

— The End —
