Part Of The Narrative

Stars

Is it true?

I heard it said

That when I look up

I

See the same

Stars

That you do

Everything

That comes in between us

Wrong words

Lack of focus

(because of each other)

It all doesn’t really matter

Doesn’t it make you

Feel small?

The fact

That I

Could be standing

Outside

At the same time as you

And we’d be looking

At the same stars

It makes you feel 

Closer

And so far away

At the same time

Are you sure they’re the same?

I’m still a little doubtful

It seems too easy

Is there a different sky where you are?

Are the stars different?

Are you different?

Would I be?

If I traveled there

What if Artemis picked me up in her carriage tonight?

If Selene lent me some moonlight?

If Zephyr sent me a current?

Would the journey

Change me? 

Hang on

I'm coming 

So when I arrive

And we are looking at the same stars

It’s still different

I realized something on the way over

The stars didn’t change

They really are the same in your world

It’s us

We change

We

Make

The difference

So

When you see the stars

Remember 

They stay the same

It’s just 

Our perception

That changes

I’ll be waiting

When your perception changes

I’ll still be here

Don’t worry

I’ll wait here for you

Under

The stars
