Your love for constellations and stars kept you alive,
Whereas I could identify less than five;
With you, the phrase opposites attract made sense,
It was like seeing the world through the correct lens;
You shone as bright as the stars in a clear sky,
I couldn't even keep track of the time passing by;
But time, it has its phases, good and bad:
You can't, for too long, be happy or sad;
You used to say it's like the moon,
But I didn't think such a time would come so soon:
Now, I'm alone staring at the wall,
As a storm begins and rain starts to fall;
The universe, it seems, is mourning your loss,
You were the purest heart it ever came across;
The galaxies that you always admired,
Into them your soul has been wired;
The butterflies in my stomach have faded,
The stars also seem to have become jaded;
The giggles you praised have turned into silent sobs,
For you, my love, my heart aches, it throbs;
Your hands will never be in my curls again,
Until I'm with you, my love, I'll see you then;
This isn't a sob story, it never will be,
It's just the reality of life, you'll see;
Love is hard, but it's stronger than you think:
But the person you love can be gone in a blink;
It's a gamble, with only the universe to blame:
Yes, I've learnt now that love is a ruthless game.
