Since you've been gone the stars have disappeared.

I remember when we first met.
You said my heart held a whole galaxy but I only had access to one constellation.
I wondered how you seemed to know what to say.
Later i found out that my best friend told you I had a thing for astrology.
You spent all night coming up with that pickup line.
And I thought that was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard.
You honestly didnt need to say anything else.
You already had my heart.
But you kept talking about the stars dust that flowed through my veins and the butterflies that peeped through my eyes.
You told me that's what gave them their color.
And why they seemed so full of life.
Because they were alive.
And they sparkled everytime you came around.
And they flutered everytime you talked to me.
And when they cried, I cried.
They felt emotion too.
And it nearly killed me when you left.
But you did leave and I'm still trying to get over it.
Did you see how I cried when you left?
Can you tell me how it felt when you left?
Did you enjoy it?
Was it quick and painless?
Or was it long and drawn out?
Kind of like mine.

Since you've been gone the butterflies have died.
