i fell into her eyes
as if they were a lake
and i was a fish

i swam through them
making them my home
i loved them

they were the vast galaxies
of outer space
and i was the astronaut

every once and a while
they would light up
like fireworks

and i would cry
tears of joy
they were so beautiful

i was afraid
if i left
i would soon forget their brilliance

the joy they brought
to my otherwise colorless life
that's why i loved them

and why i loved her
