I knew when I saw you pick it up and open it I’d never see you again, at least not the way you were. It took a piece of life or soul from you, and instead of leaving an empty void it left some bit of itself in that space, something like a beacon signaling a presence you don’t understand in a place that doesn’t exist.
Since then I’ve known that even when you were looking right at me you have one eye pointed toward that place. We may have fallen in love but your heart would never belong to me – I would have to share it with the stars for as long as live, or as long as you pretend that it’s mine.

Your eyes are almost totally glassed over now. Every time I find you alone you’re staring out the window, day or night, and it has gotten harder and harder to snap you out of it with each passing year.
I’ve waited for years for you to come back, knowing that you would just get farther from me and closer to… but I know where to find you.
