Us in a Faded Orbit

We moved slowly along a faded orbit

Growing farther apart beneath the same night

As far as our near-missed glances stretched

Love shook us more quietly

Feelings later than stars always miss their timing

And remain as light we never reached

Between us in a faded orbit

A sorrow slower than light passes by

A love that never ended becomes a circle

And keeps revolving around my heart

Yesterday's dawn is still stuck on the window

Erased names settle down like dust

A moment missed once never returns easily

So I keep looking toward you longer

Even in distant time, what stays clear

Is the shape of us that never met

Between us in a faded orbit

A deeper night comes as we disappear

The scenes we never reached turn into starlight

Settling over all my silence

Maybe from the start we were only parallel

Watching the same sky for too long

If even that distance was part of love

Then I'll leave you inside this orbit

Between us in a faded orbit

A light that never goes out keeps returning

Circling the same night even as time passes

Till the end, I'll keep drawing you
