Our Story Timeline

Exposition

I see you from the crowd

Maybe it was fate or maybe a coincidence

Either way that's how our love story began

Later on

You tell me that I have given you an unfamiliar happiness

You tell me that this

is something you don’t mind

In return

I tell you that I will always be your home

I tell you that you are my second chance

Rising action

Time begins to sanding down our edges the ones

That used to only fit each others and now

Home is an unfamiliar loneliness and this

I do not like

You said that you would show me the stars on nights past the city lights

And over the clamor of San Francisco's concrete I look up to the sky

And wonder where they went

Climax

And now every time we kiss I feel like i'm drowning and this time it's not in your love

This time it’s in everything I've kept bottled up the things

I couldn’t say the words I’ve been meaning to tell you

I tell you

That I have forgotten what constellations look like

You tell me

Maybe you need time

And you leave me

With a broken telescope that time cannot fix

I no longer long to stargaze

Falling action

I thank you for showing me the stars

I apologize for not loving astronomy

And I give you back the telescope, the house key, and our promises

Resolution

I hoped that one day

You will show me the stars once more and on that day

I prayed that you’ll come back home

But now I know I can love myself

More than you ever could

More than you ever did

Exposition to resolution. There's a thesis in there somewhere. If only the explosion lasted forever. Maybe that's why it leaves the crater.

a lovely analogy indeed
