I was a star. A comet.
A firebolt streaking across the heavens.

I look down.
I know...

... that the glittering seas are full of her tears.
... that she would always be alone.
... that she would always whisper my name in vain,
search for my hand in the dark.

I would always be alone.
The universe awaits me.
She would always be lonely.
Infinity stretches before her.

Silver rings tether her.
I look back,
but don't linger.

I am a star. A comet.
And I blaze a trail where she cannot follow.
