The want for life,

The things that bring it to light,

They all somehow loop back to you.

The music that plunges my chest

Say things I can't distinguish from you.

I feel and breathe the breeze,

And the cold around me as I

Look at the constellations I see

In your eyes.

I was a stranger to these things.

The glow of the sun through the leaves

Didn't seem to matter.

Now every ray is a gift

That hits your skin and hair as well.

I know I don't remind you of these things,

And that you will be gone with someone

Who gives you the moon.

But I will wish to do nothing but celebrate

The new life set before you

That you gave to me.

Once you're gone, I'll keep it,

I hope to God I will,

For how could I ever forget my own universe?
