[Intro]
[Instrumental - Modern orchestral, sweeping strings, distant electronic undertone]

[Verse 1 - Aria, lyric soprano]
I sold everything I owned on Earth
Bought a room above the crater's edge
Two hundred thousand miles of empty space
Between his memory and me

The colony glows in artificial light
The tourists come and go below
But I stand at my window every night
And watch the Earth hang in the dark

[Pre-Chorus - Aria, lyric soprano]
They said the distance would be enough
They said new skies would clear the mind
But the Earth still turns the way it always did
And he is still down there
And I am still his

[Chorus - Aria, lyric soprano backed by choir]
I came so far to forget you
Across the silence of the void
But love doesn't die with distance
It has nowhere left to hide
I came so far to forget you
The moon was meant to set me free
But every light I see is Earth-light
And every face I see is he

[Verse 2 - Aria, lyric soprano]
There is someone here who smiles at me
Who leaves small flowers at my door
Who sees in me what I cannot see
A life worth living, nothing more

I let him close — a little closer
I laugh, and mean it, more each day
But in the quiet of the lunar morning
I turn away

[Pre-Chorus - Aria, lyric soprano]
The distance was supposed to be enough
The new sky was supposed to clear my mind
But the Earth still turns the way it always did
And he is still down there
And I am still his

[Chorus - Aria, lyric soprano backed by choir]
I came so far to forget him
Across the silence of the void
But love doesn't die with distance
It has nowhere left to hide
I came so far to forget him
The moon was meant to set me free
But every light I see is Earth-light
And every face I see is he

[Bridge - Aria, lyric soprano]
Two hundred thousand miles of silence
And still his name is on my tongue
The colony sleeps beneath the crater
But I have never been more alone

There is a man who leaves me flowers
There is a life just within reach
But the Earth hangs in the window
Blue and cold and out of reach

[Final Aria - Aria, lyric soprano]
Maybe love is not a distance
Maybe healing is not a place
Maybe standing on the moon means nothing
If the heart refuses to move on

So I will try again tomorrow
Let the flowers mean what flowers mean
But tonight I'll watch the Earth a little longer
From the farthest place I've ever been

[Outro]
[Strings alone, fading]
Two hundred thousand miles...
And still...
And still...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a future where the moon has grown from colony to resort to city, Aria buys a room above a crater's edge — two hundred thousand miles from a heartbreak she cannot outrun. A new life begins to take shape around her. Someone leaves flowers at her door. She laughs and means it, more each day.

But every night she stands at the window and watches the Earth hang in the dark, and every face she sees is his. A modern opera about the distance love refuses to respect.
