You've lived a long life, burning through each day with a passion barely bridled by gravity Expelling an otherworldly essence Drawing me into your orbit, with a hug around my shoulders Your hands planted firmly on my cheeks was an interstellar daydream You put me between stars Now you're fading And no matter how many light-years away I'll still feel your supernova And that's okay Your nebula will always shine And your stardust will still burn bright as the eyes that bore witness to your life
