The Problem of Space. And You.

The Earth’s magnetic field flips every 200,000 years.

The North and South poles did a somersault the night your lips touched mine.

This being said, you were my once in 200,000 years!

The Earth eclipsed the Sun as you and I leaned in closer and closer, singing “Forgot About Dre” daring each other to make a mistake,

We matched each other word for word, breath for breath, in more ways than one that night.

Everyone in the room knew a galaxy was forming in the very small space between us.

Now if you remember anything about me, you’ll remember that space is my biggest fear,

I jumped into you, like the eternal unknowing of a black hole,

And I swear to God, I was not afraid.

And like a black hole, you sucked me into you, I had no chance of escape

I did NOT WANT TO!

Your total darkness was the most comforting presence I had EVER FELT, home had suddenly become YOU and I was privileged to float in your darkness for the rest of my days. . .

I learned in astronomy that after a black hole sucks up everything it can, eventually it will run out of energy and collapse.

And that is exactly what you did.

When I fell for you, I didn’t know you were a dying star that I wanted to live JUST A LITTLE LONGER

Love me just a LITTLE LONGER

Try just a LITTLE LONGER

A little longer for me, was an eternity for you

You could not be bothered to try any longer and hit the self destruct

Self destruct was labeled wrong,

And I’ve collapsed into a singularity, without you.
