❝ i am a friend of the universe
at night i tell the moon stories
and embrace the starsand when the sun comes up
i bathe in her majestyi showed you the universe
at night we walked the dark side of the moon
and skipped the stars like stonesand when the sun came up
we stole her light
and ran like it was nothingand as we ran i realised
i didn't love the moon,
the sun
and all the stars
the same way as i did
upon meeting youand as we ran
you became my universe.and now that you're gone
i sit on my windowsill
with my legs dangling out the window
and my gaze pointed to the skythe moon is gone
and the stars are not alignedthe sun,
she shines on my backbut i feel nothing but cold rain ❞
– 3:09 in oh the hands that held me (unpublished continuation for faint heart to faint heart)
