Three days, two hours and fifty-nine

How much do you exactly mean to me?
If I could, I'd weigh this with no parallax error,
and tell you exactly how much you mean to me.

It's as heavy as the moon, I'd like to say.
Like an astronaut, you make me feel
As light as a feather,
As calm as the air,
As free as my thoughts would let me be.

But like good things,
They come to an end.
Three days, two hours and fifty-nine*
And then you're no longer mine.


*refers to the longest period of time that was spent on the moon.
