Astronomical
You were the sun, and I the moon; so utterly entranced by your presence. My light was only a reflection of yours. You were so hypnotic and intoxicating; I could not tear my eyes from your aura. Your words and beauty flooded my senses, and so I forgot everything but you. The amnesia removed my knowledge, of the galaxy, of other celestial bodies. But you engulfed me in flame, and abandoned me to ablaze to burn. I was left devastated and charred, with only the recollection of the void without you. But with time I learned to reopen my eyes, and when I did I was astonished. I was stunned by the beauty revealed to me. I saw the stars, and with this sight my memories came rushing back. And I remembered, there is more than one sun in the universe.
