Even though you promised
You’d stay by my side
I didn’t even get to say good-bye
Where did you go
Why did you leave
I do not know where you could be
But now I’m on my own
The earth is spinning
I, too, am spinning
But why does it seem
We’re not at the same speed
Falling behind
Falling behind
You left behind a piece of you sitting here in my mind
Even though we follow the same laws of the universe
Our lives diverge inevitably
One moment can mean anything
Find the light that guides you safely through your times of darkness
If you reach the other side
I’ll be waiting with arms open wide
I remember when our teacher taught us
Moment of inertia is tau over alpha
If I increase force that is used
Then will I be able to move
The resting parts of me
I play with the numbers
I need more power
Applying pressure
To push me forward
But I am still
Right here
I’m still
And you are still on the far side of the words in my will
All this time I’ve tried to break the laws of the universe
Despite knowing all too clearly
My moment is infinity
Find the light that guides you safely through your times of darkness
If you reach the other side
I’ll be waiting with arms open wide
