a bonfire in the cosmos

here i sit,
sipping stars from solar systems,
as we raged bonfires in the cosmos,
sleeping on a new planet every night,
and flying on asteroids
with your hand held closely in mine.

it's like my world felt so so hollow
- like the darkest hole in the entire galaxy -
and the only thing
that could fill this endless void,
was within the void itself.

taking a deep delve
into the most disastrous of black holes,
while you're sat there waiting,
ready to catch me if i fall.

i've sat here waiting,
for what's felt like eternity,
searching and finding
every highest high i can climb,
swimming in the clouds
and jumping through comets
set for mars,
not ever realizing
that my biggest high,
came from you.
