I'd go from Venus to Mars if I could.
I'd float through the darkness to stand where you stood.
I'd go through a place without rain, wind, or weather,
so that you and I may stand there together.
On past Earth, filled with everyone else
to look you in the eyes and feel how you've felt.
"It's been too long," as my eyes fill with tears,
"to me it's been weeks but for you it's been years."
Around the sun in a perfect ellipse,
never to meet until an eclipse.
Our planets revolve around the same object,
just not in sync and no one can stop it.

Sorry, but had to lol because the book Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars came to mind! 🙂
