I stepped in water

You stepped in fog

Your eyes watched the stars

And my eyes were locked on you.

With you

It was always the moon

That you loved and reached for

With me it was always you

That I loved and reached for

You loved the world

And asked impossible questions

You looked for love

And reached through me

I didn’t understand

The world you loved

But I knew that

I wanted to be a part of it

But you cast me out

Into the water

And watched me

Drown.

You Were The Stars To Me
