We Never Really Knew Each Other's Eyes

Across the sky we sometimes see the dying breath of distant stars. The one brief shining moment of long unnoticed worlds. What a way to say goodbye but, then, we never really knew each other's eyes. We lasted just a bit too long to stay unjaded. The curse of loving is to live beyond the blinding of the light. The sweetest wine will be for years and mellow with the passing time but even that can sour some and lose the vinyard's sense of rhyme. The magic ministers produce no more rabbits. All the hats are empty and resorting to trickery is an indulgence granted to fools. Still, the time was there. The moments shone. No need now to murder memories, to cut flesh from bone. Leave some room for bleeding and some for closing wounds. We never really knew each other's eyes.
