I know you can't shake me off now.
I know I'll linger longer.
I know you can't erase me now.
I know I'll forget you now, forever.
But I am the secret prayer in your head.
I am the secret confession that can't be said.
I am the secret you want to lay with on every bed.
I know you can't break free from the fantasy now.
I know you'll always be in my letters.
I know you will never forget me, even now.
I know you'll realize the huge mistake you made later.
I am the stars, the microplastics in your gut.
I am the silent satellites orbiting your golden sun.
I am the sophon, and in your earth I'm stunned and spun.
I know you'll always be at home, but haunted.
I know you'll always think about me, just like a problem.
I know I'll always wonder if time and space can truly be bent.
And I'll always feel the same about you, we're a two-body problem.
Softer sci-fi
