Your touch landed like an electric shock,
Zaps and zings—
a force field that made time stop on the clock.
They say time isn’t linear,
but in every timeline, there’s you and me.
This ain’t butterflies—
our souls met in every galaxy.
You’re familiar,
someone I can share myself with.
I don’t know what it is,
but I know I love your peculiar presence.
But maybe
our connection in these lunar skies
was only meant to be temporary?
Since time has no ending,
what if what felt like seconds
really lasted centuries?
I know I’d love to stop in time to experience you.
If I wasn’t afraid of vulnerability,
I’d speak my truth.
Instead, I’ll keep holding my breath
and preserving my oxygen.
Far travels are ahead.
I’m not trying to get lost here,
stuck in dead ends.
Entrapment in this space can’t happen—
there’s no air in the cosmos.
My body and my heart yearning to say yes,
my mind screaming no.
I like control,
yet I’m roaming through black holes in this space
when deep down, we both know
I fear the unknown.
We explored every layer,
searched through depths.
We went our separate ways,
but if my oxygen tank could hold us both,
would you have stayed?
Would you explore the unknown,
knowing that I’m near?
Maybe we both needed each other
to find our way back home
to the atmosphere.
Yet,
a lack of oxygen causes mental spirals.
We’re both moving out of fear
when the air we needed all along
was deep inside of us.
