Spaceships

This is what it’s like to love you..

It’s like being the last 2 people alive..

Floating aimlessly through space..

Watching galaxies drift by the window..

Stars exploding to life & giving them names..

Your laughter swept away by cosmic wind..

But it’s a lonely existence..

Your eyes full of emotion your lips can’t speak..

And everyday you long to open the door of our spaceship

And fly away..

Unaware of instant death that awaits you..

How long can I hold you in my arms until you outgrow them..

How long until I can no longer stop you from slipping out the door..

..And you’re gone..

And I’m left alone in this ethereal but empty beauty..

Everything we love is temporary..

Everyone we know, minuscule in an infinite universe..

This is what it’s like to love you..

I choose to love you everyday.
