So suddenly
Afraid
That I might lose you?
I think I'd better go to sleep. Tomorrow's another day. A better-feeling day.
And I'll watch the sun rise in the morning. And I know the earth keeps on turning. Even if the world ends, someday, somehow. Somewhere, there will be another sun.
Another sun for you and me?
I step out into the night, my feet freezing in the rain. I want to ask the stars if they know who I'll be in a few years from now.
Yet they stay quiet, silent gatekeepers as they have been for eons
Then all is still, all is silent. One moment before panic rises up in my throat and I almost choke on the bile that comes up.
The thought of losing you, somehow, somewhere, sometime, makes me ache inside. I think something is making it's way out of me, to protect you from harm.
Because I would go to the stars and walk to the palace of the Greek gods and make you immortal if I needed to.
So silence now.
