the light

the cosmos

we were both,
but a speck,
in the grand scheme,
of time,
and life itself.

and yet,
i just couldn't help,
but to compare,
your immaculate beauty,
to the entire cosmos:

with her lovely
and beautiful galaxies,
her breathtaking constellations,
how she pulls
moons and planets and stars.

i compared you,
as if we were immortal,
and worthy of the comparison.
worthy of the very thing,
that keeps us spinning,
day in
and day out.

i compared you,
as if you were the sun,
pulling and pushing others,
without even a second thought,
moving and drawing,
enchanting others with your beauty.

i compared you,

but you -
unique,
and unlike any star,
i could ever find,
up in that black,
mysterious abyss -
are my own little,
spectacular solar system,
way beyond any comparison,
i could even think to give:
full of love,
life,
and wonder.

and i couldn't dare,
ever asking for,
my own little cosmos,
when he's sitting,
right in front of me,
shining bright and boldly,
for only me.
