She’s always been an unairbrushed model
Possessing pure perfections but frequently filled with flaws
He’s always been a talkative shy guy
Constantly conversing but secretly seeking silence
She was born precious and protected like a princess
And the royal family’s love knew no bounds
He was more born struggling in a sea of sorrows,
And with every year came a new wave of troubles
She grew up as a bumble bee
In a field filled with flowers
Each pretty plant helping her grow
But no matter how many were blown away
She could always find more
He grew up as a puzzle piece
But had a few extra tabs
And not enough blanks
So no matter how hard he tried
He could never fit in
She had big dreams, giant dreams, planet-sized dreams
Ones where she would travel the globe
Experiencing every experience even the experimental ones
Because she wanted regret to be just a fantasy
And the wonderful wonders of the world
To be no longer wonders but reality
While the only thing he wanted
Was a lemonade stand
So he could make a profit off his problems
But that possibility was preposterous
Probably because he could sadly never
Sell more than his stock
Even though these two individuals were incomparable
They happened to cross paths one day
But there was no love at first sight
They were no star-crossed lovers from some Shakespearean play
Instead it took over a year
For it to become crystal clear
That they had something unique
Like the way their palms were made to fit each other's
To her, he was a pair of jetpack boots
Allowing her to ascend new heights
Uncharted highs that she never thought
She would ever be able to reach
If not for the help of him
To him, she was a magical wand
Morphing him from a dull gray moth
To a vibrant butterfly
That extruded extrovert even if,
At times it was unwanted
But jetpack boots can go much higher than a butterfly can
So just like their altitude, their love was one sided
Even still, throughout the months
He saw her as a star
Not just because she was hot stuff or out of this world
But because whenever he was led astray
He could look up to her to find his way
Since she would always be there
To guide him through dark days
Yet the thing he wanted the most
Was to snatch that star from the sky
Not to keep her light away from others
But because his cold heart
Only felt warmth when next to hers
But since she laid in his hand
The stars could never align
So it was only a matter of time
Until she fell through the cracks of his hand
Steadily, like hourglass sand
Down to another man or a different land
He may never know
But that didn’t matter
The important thing was
That she was gone
Just another memory
Joining all the others
That he had already forgotten
But unlike the rest, she had repercussions
She was what the others associated him with
As if she was the glue that bonded all of his friendships
And with her absence, he once again became nonexistent
Because she wasn’t just his star
She was his big bang
She’s what made him matter
And without her
he was the opposite of what she once was
A star
But collapsed on itself
Darkness denser than ever
A black hole
But black holes are pretty lonely
Anything that gets near gets absorbed
Even light particles and sound waves
So it must be pretty quiet inside a black hole
Maybe that’s the sweet silence I’ve been secretly seeking for
