For over three years, our paths traveled together under the same sky.

From that summer night in July 2022 to this moment
through shared meals and warm embraces,
through foreign cities and quiet evenings,
through blankets, televisions and shared screens,
through your peace and laughter,
every moment was a priceless gift.

I was a lost exoplanet, distant and adrift,
until I found myself pulled into your orbit.
You were the sun
bright, warm and beautifully radiant.
You taught me what it meant to be held in place by light.
What we had was real, and kind, and worth everything.

Thank you for letting me orbit around you.
For the way you saw me in this universe, and the way you let me see the universe with you.
For memories that will always glow, even as our paths find their own directions.

Some journeys aren't meant to last forever,
but that doesn't make them any less beautiful.

Now in the distance,
I drift back to my aimless orbit,
but I'll remain in your sky,
always there, always admiring you from afar,
whenever you need to find me.
That's the fruit

May you, your smile and your laughter always shine,
wherever you go.
