i have no friends on earth
most lay where you are
everyone so distant from me
everyone living on mars
i like to think of you as my partner
that there was much love between us
but how can you love me
when you're perched up on venus?
i sometimes think of our love as a cycle
you love me, you love me not, a pattern
but how can you possibly notice me
when your mind is in saturn?
i will never stop loving you
even if the universe turns on you, you know?
but i will no longer wait for you
while your soul is on pluto.
