You fell suddenly into my life,
Like a meteor, flaming bright
You were like no other in the entire world
(or even the universe).
You saved my life, and I saved the world
And you laughed and said we were even.
Then you took me by the hands,
And dragged me off, until
We stopped by your strange blue box
And you told me to go on in.
Well I went in all right,
And came right back out again, too.
(You were trying not to laugh, but
I guess you weren't trying very hard.)
And then you led me back in and
Took me off to see the stars.
I'd never imagined that such beauty,
Such glorious light, could exist.
And you showed me the universe—
The light and the dark,
The right and the wrong,
And everything in between.
You taught me
That there is so much more to life—
So much more—
And that I was kinder than I felt,
Smarter than I thought,
And stronger than I looked.
You took my hand and we ran away,
Into the stars, into the night.
But nothing lasts forever
And one day, even though we did everything we possibly could
To stop it from happening,
The universe ripped me from your arms,
And tore you from my life
And I
Have never died more
Than I did
In that moment
When my reason for breathing was gone.
