From the moment my eyes
fell on you, no force could
tear them away—no force
but that of the beauty
the stars comprised, for they
were my only hope of
ever getting you to
return my affections.
So I will raise my gaze
from you to the stars, just
to wish that you might one
day love me as much as
I love our night sky—and
as much as I love you.
