Before your very eyes–

I knew that pain,
Was arbitrary
Before your very eyes–

Kisses never tasted
So heaven-sent
Until I met you.

The intergalactic, cosmic
Wondrous encounter
Of me and you–

Falling stars
with only one purpose:
Love.

We knew that love
was risky business
in the eyes of others,

But we kept steady
during recalcitrant turbulence
that tested our steady waters,

And we promised acceptance
and honesty with every
untainted breath.
