Temporary

We exist under infinite skies

You and I

An ellipses that never resolved.

I've come back to this town

Still chasing you down

The star around which I revolved.

A planetary love

I've failed to think of

You looked better in the rear view

I fear

But I fall so easily in

Orbit once again

Your gravity pulling me near

For a weekend

Let's pretend

Play husband and wife

Like that's the life

we could have made

if maybe one day

i'd learn to stay

Waste today wishing on stars

That will fade

This is not who we are
