For your ears only

Two stars across the universe
We were not meant to burst
Not split-aparts nor art,
Not opposite ends of a color chart

But here we met while walking on blue light
The only place then that shone so bright

I cut my eyes out and you did too
For we only had ears to see the color blue

A second, a minute, a day
I spent my life away
With time and with smiles,
And longing you'd come back for a while
It was not much;
Just the sound of your voice and a soft touch

My ears played the years over the calm ocean
The tide growing of devotion

A voice, never a face
I wish there could have been a place,
To finally see that smile with my eyes
And laugh with those clear blue skies

They say you fall when you least expect
They were not incorrect;
But it was truly a wave of ocean blue that overtook my breath,
And brought me to my death

The fault may have been mine,
Everything blurs to gray sometimes
But I'll love you until the very end,
Until we're both just stars again
