Anti-gravity

We veer like stars

As we laugh beneath the night sky

'twas the story of then

The things that can't be helped by rewind

We drift like cars

Stunned by a stoplight drop-by

We pulled when we can

Paradoxical, to go forward, recall what's behind

I see the scars

Wounds push us off orbit with unsaid lies

I don't see me pulling you then

You float away as I lose you constantly like my mind

I reached for the bars

Imaginary, hoping you'd hold unto before infinite goodbye

You have done what you can

Things would have been worse if you hadn't declined
