Star-Crossed

From the personal files of the Quantum Architect, partner of the Cosmic Shipwright My partner was patient, and I was reckless. My Beloved had science and logic, and I had my psychic reveries. Longer and longer into the night, I vainly attempted to cast my consciousness into the void. I neglected sleep. I neglected food. I neglected My Beloved. As we pursued our dreams of venturing into the cosmos, a gulf grew between us. My Beloved found words for our phenomenon: quantum entanglement. My body was here, but my mind was eons away, desperately seeking ecstasy and a communion with eternity. My partner told me other words, but I would not listen. 'My Love,' they said, 'come back to me,' but I could only hear the echoes of the stars. Soon, the time will come to test my partner's solar starship. I have volunteered sit at the controls. As I sit at the helm of its first test flight, I will dream of a course to distant shores, my mind *here* and my body *there*. My Beloved has grown quiet, but I will gift them with infinity, blazing a trail to eternity. I will offer them the dreams of a thousand worlds.
