Your past lover is hundreds of miles away, ******* another man.
Your mother can’t sleep because she’s regretting how she raised you.
Your best friends are wasting away and getting high in a forgotten town.
Your father, whom you haven’t really thought of in years, is somewhere far away
In the northwest,
And he doesn’t give a **** about you.
And you don’t give a **** about him.
And somewhere else, in a place you’ve never seen,
Happens the most beautiful thing
You have ever dreamed
There is a girl, far away, and she’s awake too.
Her eyes are about to open,
And yours are too,
One day you will meet,
And though life is meaningless
And though we’re a fickle plague on an undeserving Earth
And though this will all come crashing down, and humans will be no more;
Someday…
You know that spending your life with this girl
Watching, together, distant horizons unfurl
You will be able to live,
And you will be able to die.
Now open your eyes,
Both of you,
And never lose sight
Of what you feel tonight.
Unspeakable miles and infinite variables
All cascading into this single moment
This moment where your entire life becomes what it truly is:
Nothing.
And you’re okay with it.
Because you felt her,
And she felt you,
And what you two will one day share,
Is love.
