Tidal Lock

If I'm an open book,
Then your pages are glued together

If my pages can be thumbed through,
Then I'd need a pocket knife for you

If, for fear of tearing a page,
You desire to be collecting dust,
Then I will be worn until I get torn
For I am one on the floor

I love you so much
But why is it hard to talk with you?
It feels like you're drifting away
Am I drifting away?

I am your Pluto and you are my Charon
Two bodies afloat, we're stuck together
I pull you, you pull me through
Tidally locked, like this, forever

I am your planet and you are my moon
I spin, I turn, you rotate around me
I show you all I am, heart on my sleeve
But one side of you remains in the dark

I am the sun, you are my planet
You are my Jupiter, and I am your Titan
Together, forever,
Yet... so far apart, never to touch

It feels like you're drifting away,

Am I drifting away?

Am I drifting away...?
