and the word(S)

and when i look at you

i'm reminded of a place i once visited, a place i once visited across the moon

i'm reminded of the moment we met. how your eyes were like falling sunsets

how i dove deep into those dark wet pools and how i instantly knew i would let you

become the energy source of my soul

that's right, the energy source of my soul [and you did]

how you embraced the depth of my shallow vessel and dove deep into my body,

fueling the engines inside me that

would condescendingly catch fire within my veins,

you started my turbines and then it began

the speed of emotion against time and space

yeah you were the start of my engine again and again again

until at last my rocket took aim

and fired through the dense milky way

getting lost in the comets of glistening way

i regained both my steering and piloting strength

and landed on the moon

and it was weightless from there.

Tasting you, was like being on that glowing, desolate rock

it was effortless and gorgeous,

it was quiet like saturn's secrets and honestly,

the view of earth wasn't bad from up there

But,

floating in circles for you i could

create new craters on the moon i could

build you a constellation i could

if you would've let me i could

have given you the galaxy just as you had given me the gift

of sending me to the moon with all of only the depths of your eyes,

and when you blinked the whole solar system shook

when you blinked how the stars came tumbling down

the sun had caught fire and neptune had drowned

the moon lost its power and craters collided

to break down the rocket in which i had confided in You

and how it took but all of gravity

to send me tumbling back down to earth

in the heaviest of ways

And the words escape me

at all altitudes did i learn, how i too was capable

of committing one giant leap for mankind

only love, in the blink of an eye,

can make you do something crazy

like that.
