I told you that I loved you to the moon and back.

I shouldn't have lied.

What I should have said was that I love you to the moon, and there's no coming back.

What I should have said was that I loved you to the moon and across the solar system and through the milky way.

What I should have told you is that I will love you until the universe stops expanding.

This is what I should have told you.

This is what I should have said, but this is also what I didn't say.

And now it's too late.

Now the sun has exploded and taken you with it.

Now you're gone, and I'm alone in an unknown galaxy.

I'm alone a million light years away, and still I love you.
