"I tell myself, that you are onlya moment. Howin this universefull of moments, we’re just..."

“I tell myself, 

that you are only

a moment. How

in this universe

full of moments, 

we’re just two stars

that found the same orbit.

I tell myself that 

it doesn’t matter.

if we fall out of love,

fall out of orbit,

stop chasing our heels, 

stop touching each other,

like sunflowers 

are growing from 

our skins. I tell myself

that you are not the sun

and I am not the greedy Earth.

A mantra or a prayer,

I tell myself,

that it doesn’t matter

if someday, 

I cannot hold 

the soft mass of you

in my arms. 

That I will 

love you properly

here and now. 

What I mean is, 

if we are a moment, 

I want us to track through

forever with our dirty shoes,

and our suitcases. If we are

a moment, let it be 

now and now and now.”
