Eternity in Exchange for a Wink

If you gaze into the sky On a clear crisp night, When the stars align And the magic is right, You’ll understand why opposite charges attract, but similar charges repel, You’ll understand why, the greater the distance, the harder it is to tell. Not knowing where you’re going but where you’ve gone, Is the like flying through space, But slowing down through time. All the things you’ve said will no longer mean what you meant And the faster you move the heavier you'll get. So move forwards not backwards And don't close your eyes, for you might fall asleep, And when you wake, it could be eternity, And not just a wink.
