A world in your eyes

When I look in your eyes,

I see an entire world

reflected back at me.

*

Twin galaxies

filled with stars.

Glimmering with possibility

*

And I know

the world you see

isn't the one you want.

*

Reality is futility.

A war of attrition,

and it feels like we're losing.

*

So let's bury the past.

Hold a funeral for it,

and leave roses on its grave.

*

That life is over,

our afterlife is here.

A new chapter begins.

*

I see heaven

reflected in those eyes,

and I want that here.

*

We'll get out of this place.

I'll move mountains.

Pull the stars to Earth.

*

Whatever it takes.

No matter how long.

I'll do it for us.

*

I'm taking that world

that rests in your gaze,

and I'm bringing it here.

*

Because you look at me

with celestial spheres,

and you see all the best parts.

*

You make me want to become

the best version of me,

as we build our perfect life.

*

So, please don't look down.

Keep those eyes on me.

Where they belong.

*

Take my hand.

Let's dive in.

Boldly, and without fear.

*

They say this world is what you make it.

So let's make ours.

Together.
