planetary infatuation

"But then you came along."

Haunting and tinting every other thought,
Mind wrapped in the idea of daydreamed love.
Venus has taken ahold of my heart, darling,
And I'm afraid she does not plan to return it.
Melting veins and dislodged circuits—
Perhaps I'm simply fated to adore you.
Centuries of carefully articulated coincidences,
Did we innocently stumble upon each other?
Waxing poetic on how the stars dance alongside us,
Do you think if she saw us now, she'd be delighted?
Envisioning the life she had in store for us:
Forever daydreams, intangible soulmates—
Believing the cosmos is at our fingertips.
Perhaps you do not understand my meaning,
But could I convince you to take a chance with me?
