Departure

His head is now up in space far away from it all

Not afraid to rise not afraid to fall

No reason to feel lonely although life is caving in

Every second is precious because she is up there with him

All constellations seem so different up here

Everything looks threateningly bright once you get near

But the closest shooting stars you're able to cool

Because you're the exception to every rule

But his heart still beats on its own terms

And it doesn't seem to change despite the lessons that he learns along the way

In moments he is free from everything

You can see him breathing out but never breathing in
