broken strings

way back when
when time was just a little longer
and days stretched out like taffy

i first laid eyes on you.
it was almost sunset when
the orange glow eclipsed us both

but i said nothing.
it was another six years before
we ever met again

and this time i decided to say
hi. and then you smiled
and i smiled back.

and when you cracked my shell
and exposed who i truly was
and we started to fall into that little

thing they call love,
that's exactly when you broke the news
that you couldn't stay forever.

you disappeared and never let
me really say goodbye. but that's okay
because i don't even know what i would 

say. because, you were my little
eclipse, my shining blip of heaven
and i should have followed you.
