Saturn

I once told you I love you

Days later you asked if I meant it

I had always loved you

Since we were children playing in the sandpit

But now I'm older

And not surrounded by my love for you anymore

Like a dead body in the ocean 

My love must've been washed ashore

My heart only beat for you

But now you're gone

And when my heart stays with you and stops beating

Then how am I supposed to move on?

I never drink my tea with sugar

That's something you never knew

I only kept drinking my tea with sugar

Cause you drink it like that too

You've moved away from me

I always thought that this will happen when we grow

I don't know what I am without loving you

But I guess I'll be able to let you go

And I'll find another pair of lips 

That I can cling to

And I know, that by then

I won't wish that tose lips belong to you.

This is easily one of my favourite poems. I just love how metaphorical and deep it is and I think a lot of people can also relate to the feeling of losing something that has always been there with or for them and now isn't. In that moment, you don't really know what to do. It's as if Saturn lost it's rings, that's why the poem's called Saturn.
