Departure - Astpai

his head is now up in space, far away from it all.

not afraid to rise, not afraid to fall

no reason to feel lonely, although life is caving in

every second is precious, because she is up there with him

«all constellations seem so different up here,

everything looks threateningly bright once you get near.

but the closest shooting stars, you’re able to cool

because you’re the exception to every rule.»

but his heart still beats on its own terms

and it doesn’t seem to change despite the lessons that he learns along the way.

in moments he is free from everything,

you can see him breathing out, but never breathing in.
