The Arms of Orion

Orion's arms are wide enough,
to hold us both together.



He sat in the bushes out side their door, watching their house from afar. To everyone, else he looked like a flea bitten dog, but to those inside he was much more. Yet, as much as he was their friend, there were moments that proved too difficult to keep up the niceties.

Although we're worlds apart,
I'd cross the stars for you.



He was still in love with her. But he found out that they were having a baby. And as much as he wanted to be happy for them, the news hit him pretty hard. He’d been dealing with the conflicting emotions of trying to be a friend and not be a man still in love with his best mate’s wife.

In the heart of a sleepless moon,
I'll be with you forever.



He’d kept busy, claiming to be on order business, so he doesn’t have to show up to dinner at their house.

This is my destiny,
till my life is through.



But despite the distance, he found himself at their door, hoping to catch some glimpse of her. Cause he has yet to find a woman that matched the beauty and fire that Lily had.

The arms of Orion that's where I wanna be.
Since you've been gone
I've been searching for a lover
in the Sea of Tranquility.
I'm drowning without you here, my dear.



After several hours, he decided to leave. But before he walked away, his senses heard the door open. He looked and saw Lily walking out to the front porch. She smiled wistfully as she looked to the stars.

When I am lost and feeling alone,
I just look to heaven.
I find my comfort there.


He looked to up to see that Orion was out. It reminded him of that evening when he had shown Lily the stars…and when they shared that kiss.

God only knows where you are tonight.



As he looked back he noticed that she was gone, but something was left in the place where she had stood. Quietly, he crept up to see a note in her writing.

Maybe time will tell me.
Till then I'll close my eyes and say a prayer for you.





I know you have you’re reasons for being away. I understand. But remember the promise you made, that night on the tower...


Orion's heart is bright enough
to shine on both of us.
The constellations never fail
to light the way for love.





When you’re ready, I’ll be here… waiting.

Lily



Orion's arms are wide enough
to hold us both together.
Although we're worlds apart.


He had promised her that he would stand ready to defend her and her children. So in essence, she needed him. His heart felt a little lighter, knowing that she made a place for him in her life.

I'd cross the stars for you.


Even though he could only be just her friend.

The arms of Orion that's where I wanna be.
Since you've been gone
I've been searching for a lover
in the Sea of Tranquility.
I'm drowning without you here, my dear.
