"and it came to me then
that we were wonderful travelling companions
but in the end, we were no more but lonely lumps of metal in their own separate
orbits
from far off, they looked like beautiful shooting stars
when the orbits that these two satellite of ours, happened to cross paths, we could
be together
maybe even open our hearts to each other
but that was only for the briefest moment
the next instant, we would be in absolute solitude
until we'd burn up and became nothing"
