All week
I've been counting down the days, hours, minutes
Until I see you again
And now
One nights sleep
One bus journey
Is all that lies between us
Yet, I feel as if the space is as vast as the galaxy
Will it ever end?
Even shooting stars burn out
No matter how bright they once were
Time makes them fade
Not all wounds can heal
Or perhaps
There was too much fire?
Perhaps our flames engulfed each other
Until only ashes remained
For a girl who loves words so much
I can't help but feel
I am too careless with mine
I can't help but feel
I'm spread too thin
I can't help but feel
We have all the weight of the universe on our shoulders
And our time is running out
We may never reach each other
You are the brightest star in my galaxy
I want so desperately
To be the sun you deserve
But I'm no longer certain
I can stitch us back together
And save myself as well
I need you in my life, my guiding star, centering me (mostly),
My best friend
But I am lost
Nothing but particles and dust
I don't think you have the energy to find me
It's hard enough to keep my own dim light alive
But I'm waiting (please hold on)
I'm all burnt out (and fading)
I can't save us on my own.
