You are Astronomy

Ive traced the stars with my fingers a thousand times like i connected the line of freckles on your shoulders. Ive studied the constellations and memorized the alignment of the planets like the scars on your thighs. Ive dreamed of fading into the vastness of space in the same way i used to melt into your lips. Ive cursed the dust and gas that fills the milkyway in the same way i drowned in the galaxies of your eyes. Ive watched meteors shower down from above like angels fall from grace and ive tried to understand why in the same way the sound of your voice made me quiver. Ive questioned the posibility of other life existing beyond our own and i wonder if they have known love the way i have known you. Ive defined love to be when two stars collide but instead of them absorbing into eachother it explodes and goes supernova like we did when we kissed. Ive pondered if hearts transform into black holes that suck everything in just in the same exact way you did to me. I long for an astronomical explination to why antares and rigel orbit the sun like how my world revolved around you. Dont you dare tell me it was just gravity and dont you dare tell me you dont feel it anymore bc thats not how love works.
