two celestial bodies
we were two celestial bodies
dancing freely around each other
never quite meeting
but rather watching from afar
and for a while that was enough
you were the brightest star i have ever seen
filling the black void with your warm light
giving life to others with your gentle touch
i am a small and rocky moon
so insignificant and frail
yet somehow the cause of a sea of tears
washing up on familiar faces
you were the caregiver of this world
so gentle and caring
always there to light up the way
for those who needed it the most
i am a quiet watcher
lurking in the shadows in the dead of night
bearing witness to its monstrosities
for the longest time you were unaware
that i even existed
but then something happened
and your gaze met mine
your eyes filled with so much love
i thought it would burn a hole in my chest
and then you came closer
soft hand on my cheek
another intertwining your fingers with mine
and when our lips met
the whole world went dark
