My Polaris,
\nI’ll guide you back,
\nTo where the stars burn bright and blue,
\nBefore we fall out of sync,
\nOut of orbit,
\nBecause I need you
\nTo show me how to turn,
\nBefore we break up in the atmosphere,
\nCause I’m too close for you to listen,
\nAnd we’re too far apart to hear.<\/p>\n
I want to help you face this cosmic winter,
\nThat has stardust in place of snow,
\nBecause even though we’ve stayed true to North,
\nI know the lights blinded you,
\nI wish no one had reminded you,
\nThat we weren’t made to last,
\nThat time takes its toll,
\nTaxation of the soul,
\nIt wants more than we can give,
\nAnd it makes your hope burn so bright,
\nI see you dying just to live!<\/p>\n
I wish I could clean out the gears,
\nChains, screws, rusted from tears,
\nBut I can’t replace broken pieces,
\nWorn down the years,
\nWhen we just watch each other,
\nToo afraid to touch,
\nTrying too much to learn visual,
\nWhen we’re both tactile,
\nI’m stretching as far as I can,
\nBut if you back away,
\nI can’t reach your smile,
\nAnd we’re getting older,
\nJust a little bit more,
\nEach and every day,
\nIt gets so much colder,
\nOur hearts freeze over when we’re both so far away,
\nAnd standing at the edge of the universe,
\nWe’re trying to find our way past never,
\nSo if you need to hold on,
\nI won’t\u00a0let go until we reach forever!<\/p>\n
I know that,
\nJust like clockwork,
\nI’m mechanical,
\nAnd I know,
\nSame as the stars,
\nYou’re so unreal,
\nYour eyes are the gravity that keeps me on the ground,
\nBut you still get lost in the clouds,
\nYour soul heaven-bound,
\nSo now it’s my turn to teach you,
\nIf you’ll let me,
\nHow to feel
\nThat syncopated rhythm,
\nThat moment when our solar systems both align,
\nIt’s more than science,
\nMore than magic,
\nIt’s just your hand in mine,
\nSo my Polaris,
\nLet me guide you home,
\nWhere all the stars burn bright and blue,
\nBecause the night sky feels so empty,
\nMy sky is empty without you.<\/p>\n
