Galaxically Desperate

You are the world to me
but I’m not the world to you
I would never presume to be so planetary
Maybe you think of me as a supercontinent, like Gondwana, before all the land masses broke up.
No, I guess not, I would never presume to be so tectonic.
Perhaps you think of me as a country
No, I would never presume to be so topographical
Any chance you view me as an isthmus?
No, I would never presume to be so hard to pronounce
How about a nation state or a principality?
No, I guess not, I don’t really understand what they are
Maybe an atoll?
Hmmm, too radioactive …
But you are the world to me
