"reminisce"

the other day I reminisced about

when we were young and naïve

working our way through the

intricacies of love and life

and you, my first love

the first star in my night sky

I fell in love with your brown eyes

your name a melody to my ears

but we both grew up and apart

life took us on separate roads

though we still crossed paths

rekindling feelings once thought dead

my heart wanted to believe one day

it would be just you and me

even if our hair had turned gray

but that is just a far-off dream

as the years pass by, my resolve

turns into dust and lost opportunities

because honestly the galaxies

never meant for us to be together

you were always to me that far-flung

star that I could never reach

and to you, I was the moon goddess

you could never live up to
