-astronaut-

One Word #8 Word: Astronaut Astronaut, Noun, A person who is trained to travel in a spacecraft I wonder What it’d Be like to Finally leave You behind? Would I be at Peace, or would I cry? Would I be Okay, or would I be Alone? Maybe I'd be so alone that I wouldn’t realize it. Is it worth freedom? Would sacrifice be worth? If I had eaten the food you made tonight, would that Be enough for you to smile at me? “Don’t bother,” So I guess it’ll be a no. I’ve Always dreamed of being an astronaut, because maybe if I brought You a star, You’d finally smile at me. But now, I can’t hear Your voice, and I can’t see your face. In this place Where no sound will reach me, I see that There is no way I could ever make You happy, for I cannot touch these Stars, I’d surely be killed if I were to try. In this place where nothing will resound, I cry out to nothing, hoping that one day, This song reaches your ears even now. So I will wish for the impossibilities, Including the one of you ever Loving this me. But I feel Like I will finally be Okay alone.
