The Space Between Us

The two of us
Are like two celestial figures
Moving around each other in orbit

Always spinning
Spiraling
Closer and closer
Always missing
Never quite understanding each other

The two of us
Are like two celestial figures
Moving around each other
In an orbital rotation
Going through the motions
But still
Never touching.

The other night I realized
The stars are millions
Billions
Trillions
Of light years apart,

Celestial figures
Which never quite touch
Always missing
Never quite
Understanding

And still,
The space between them
Super secedes perfection
Allowing for the reflection
Of  starshine.
