I’ve heard that once,

Every atom in bodies,

Was part of a star,

So my beautiful darling,

You are not just leaving,

You are going home.

Oh, Star Boy,

I miss you.

 

You use to call me “dearling,”

And laugh softly,

As you said,

“Endless space and oblivion are the only fears I have.”

 

But oh Star Boy,

You don’t seem to understand,

That there is so much more to this world,

Then the simple fears you had.

 

My fears anchored me to this earth,

While you went bounding about in the stars,

And so I hope when someone meets you next,

You say while smiling softly,

“I fear oblivion, endless space and losing people.”

 

Because by golly you lost me,

Up in the galaxies.

 

He thought I was a simple star,

Only one among billions,

And not even the brightest.

 

He saw another star,

In a different galaxy,

So he went away.

 

I wept so hard,

That the very  moon,

Felt sorry for me,

So she whispered,

“Explode, darling. Don’t keep the pain,

Inside.”

 

I exploded in a mess of color,

Stardust, and rocks.

 

My color flickered across the galaxies,

And he saw.

 

Oh star boy,

Why did you think,

That I was a simply a star?

 

I was so much more than that,

And you never believed,

So don’t leave your bright star,

In that far off galaxy,

Because I am fine,

Without you,

As a supernova.

 

 

Please tell your friends,

About the girl,

Who made you realize,

That the universe,

Can seem small,

Compared to the depth,

Of her soul,

And the love,

She had for you.

Because she deserves that,

Instead of a goodbye text.

He was a boy,

Of the universe,

With mini worlds,

In his eyes,

And the magnificence,

Of the Milky Way,

In his smile.

You,

Are just a girl,

Of the atmosphere,

With mountains and rivers,

Reflected in,

Your wild eyes.

Sand and pebbles,

From the farthest beaches,

Marr beautifully your complexion,

In the shape of freckles,

And scars.

But,

The sad thing is,

That love at first sight,

Never lasts,

When you are from,

Two different worlds,

That have,

Embedded themselves,

In your skin.

 

You told me,

The stars shine,

Because of me,

And you,

But when you left,

They still shone,

So I guess,

You were always wrong,

And I was too sad,

To see it.

They wanted to be the sky,

But didn’t realize,

That they would become,

Light years apart,

In different orbits,

For eternity.
