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

...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
