I smiled bitterly and answered,

I did not just compare you.

For a moment,

I forgot about you.

Once in a long while,

I couldn't think about how mesmerizing the sky is,

whenever you glow,

staring down at us with so much grace.

I was swinging from a chandelier,

attached to nothing,

Just gravity and atmosphere holding me.

I always knew I couldn’t get to you,

and I had her.

I never knew we could grow apart.

Strangers with memories,

That's what we are now.

But I should never have compared you.

I should never have forgotten you.
