We were the Sun and the Earth
He gave me warmth, I gave him purpose.
He lit me up, I gave him a reason.

However, like the Sun and the Earth,
our orbit was an ellipse,
close to being perfect, but was always a little off.

I walked right past him in the hall today,
it reminded me of house the Earth revolves around the sun once a year.
Then, the distance grows.

I know you don't realize it,
but the Earth needs the Sun to function.
Then it hit me.

I have forgotten
I was one planet out of 9.
And I needed you more than you needed me.
