Laurasia The moon always seems brighter over the Atlantic. I try not to think about How, every year, the tectonic plates pull you an extra inch and a half away from me. I think of us like parallel lines. We’re following the same path, but we’ll Never meet. I’m still learning how to live in a world where I’ll never touch you. You tell me to stop trying to find the answers in the stars. You’ll never Admit how much it aches, knowing that we can’t see the same set of constellations. Today, I read that two hundred million years from now, the continents will collide Again. I wonder how many stars will burn out before our paths might finally cross.
