We sailed the world together

For the better part of four years,

But now you're drifting.

 

You swore we were infinite,

And I smiled

Because nothing lasts forever, silly.

 

Now you're anchored to another ship.

A new voyage

Into the sunset.

 

And here I am, watching you.

But don't worry.

I know how to navigate alone.
