An ode for first lovers

People will tell you
The stars just don't align for you
when you're seventeen
You're too young to understand
why & how certain planets collide
& then inevitably fall apart

But now at almost twenty-seven
I've long learned astrology
& your constellation
has always felt the most
like home
