Different Timing, Same Sky (Duet)

Try not to stare. The ego's brighter than you are. You're welcome. I wasn't complimenting you. Everything starts when I arrive. Everything wakes up. You just happen to be there. Nothing grows without me. Nothing sleeps without me. They plan their lives around me. They buy curtains because of you. Exactly. That wasn't a compliment. Everybody looks up. Gravity helps. You noticed. You make avoidance difficult. I carry the whole sky. You occupy it. Small difference. Large personality. I leave an impression. You leave shadows. That was good. I know. Every room changes when I walk in. Everyone reaches for sunglasses. Mostly because you're here. Worth it. For you. Still looking. Hard not to. You refuse to be subtle. You like it. I tolerate the spectacle. Close enough. Not remotely. Different timing. Same sky. Clouds cheat. Clouds need breaks. From me? Especially from you. Everybody misses me. By lunchtime. You disappear every morning. I leave before the speech. You always come back. Somebody has to close. You can have the night. I don't need your permission. There she is. I was here the entire time. You never steal my spotlight. I don't borrow things. Then why does everyone look for you? Same reason they stop talking. That sounded important. Don't ruin it. Every room changes when I walk in. Every room exhales when you leave. That almost hurt. Almost? You enjoy this. Immensely. There it is. Don't make it about you. Everything is, eventually. There's the problem. Different timing. Same sky. They keep choosing sides. They only see one of us at a time. They call us opposites. They confuse distance with disagreement. Think they'll figure it out? Eventually. They always look up. Sometimes they finally see. One arrives. One remains. One burns. One reflects. Different hours. Same sky. They move around me. They dream around me. Never rivals. Never separate. You were always there. You were impossible to miss. I'll take it. Of course you will. One leaves. One follows. Different timing. Same sky. We've been sharing the whole world the entire time.
