It has been many faded years since I lost you.
Yet the memories of you are indelible.
I know we were very different you and I.

You with your dreams in the heavens
Plans that were cascading in the planets.

I climbed aboard your spaceship.
Even though it was inevitable that I would
Fall back to earth.

Knowing this even now
I would not change anything about us.
For just a small moment
I touched the moon and stars.
and visited the vast unknown.
And it was you who took me there
