i'm so fucking lucky

so lucky to love her

(am i allowed to say that?)

so lucky to want her

(can i say that, too?)

overwhelmed and teary at just the thought of being close to her

it's stupid, maybe

but holding her hand might be the greatest thing i'll ever do

sitting on her lap might be my highest accomplishment

kissing her the best moment of my life

is that sad? that i've replaced the stars with you?

no, i don't think that's sad.

i think that's maybe what the moon wants. venus, too. 

star-crossed... more like star-aligned, my love.

knocked onto my destiny by the creekbed night sky

and i guess i did something right

since you seem to be in it so far.

a thousand miles away and still you make me breathless

so gone i can barely finish a sentence

what would it be like if i was next to you?

a hundred times more pink-cheeked, a thousand times more in-love-nervous-shaky

and a million times more starry-eyed.

i'm leaving the light on for you.

i hope you'll stop by to kiss me goodnight again

in all your precious metal glory.
