I am not the only traveler

I am not the only traveler

not the only wanderer

in the dark matter

of objects moving

and swirling around my fingers

searching for the gravity of you

the anchor to my swaying limbs

and the air to my fading lungs

fingertips only grasping the empty space

when they should be gripping your hands

touching your skin

and sinking in that sure embrace

I am not the only traveler

I know that you’re looking too

maybe if we collide in the same gravity

like planets in the same sphere

like falling stars just before

they reach Earth

before we burn out

in the atmosphere of our broken hearts

how about if we just share the same flames

for one night

just before it all turns to dust

The first line belongs to this song

...but since I was on a shuffle and it took a moment to write this, I have to add this as well Jessie Ware - Say You Love Me
