“I don’t want to survive
I want to live” forever
passionately in love with you
but that’s not possible now
that astroid ripped our hull
our ship took critical damage
oxygen is nearly depleted
we are adrift alone in space
exploring space with you
was my holy grail
my peak of Everest
my grandest dream — realized
we’ve watched
golden fire clouds
hanging in pale green skies
over the azure seas of Toluras
we’ve seen the copper leaves
of the Parmus fronds
flashing from indigo mountains
in the crystal mists of Gemin
I have beheld exquisite beauty
in my rich full life
but none so beautiful
as your eyes tonight
let me fall into them
this one last time
and feel deeply our love
remembering all we’ve shared
my heart feels cruel pain
our love and “all those moments
will be lost in time
like tears — in rain”
