Goodbye

The Night Sky

We used to do this thing where whenever one of us left the safety of our home towns, we would go outside, cold or not, and look up at the stars if it wasn't cloudy. We would look up into the black while that is our solar system and  search for what both of us could see. We would say it made us closer, but my theory was very different. I would tell myself, this is my security blanket, it allows me to go on this adventure with you, knowing that I won't lose you. Then it got to the point where we got to go on those adventures together. And even together, we'd go outside and stare up at the darkness, counting the stars, surrounded by love. But the time we had done all of these things together, is also the time I felt furthest away from you. As I then started to notice nothing would ever be the same able same as it was before. As your love had started to fade slowly and I would have to rightly hold you to try to pull you back in. It only worked for a moment of our time.
