We all deserve a love that softly stays,
A steady light that warms the nights alone.
Two hearts that find each other through the haze,
A place where even silence feels like home.

A steady light that warms the nights alone,
Familiar eyes that know us, soul and skin.
A place where even silence feels like home,
Where every ending lets a new begin.

Familiar eyes that know us, soul and skin—
Not perfect, but a love that chooses still,
Where every ending lets a new begin,
And time moves slow to match a softened will.

Not perfect, but a love that chooses still,
Two hearts that find each other through the haze,
And time moves slow to match a softened will—
We all deserve a love that softly stays.
We all deserve love and to be loved

My love for you is vast and wild,
A roaring star in endless deep.
Through cosmic tides, so free, beguiled,
Your gravity—my soul to keep.

A roaring star in endless deep,
You burn within my boundless sky.
Your gravity—my soul to keep,
No force can break, no time deny.

You burn within my boundless sky,
A nebula of light untamed.
No force can break, no time deny,
Nor name the fire that we have claimed.

A nebula of light untamed,
Through cosmic tides, so free, beguiled.
Nor name the fire that we have claimed,
My love for you is vast and wild.
My first pantoum, comparing my love to the endless grace of space.
