If the galaxy was this close would you come near it?

Stardust dusted across your cheeks

Light brown ones, hard to see

The sun peaks

 

The warmth of the sun in your embrace

Your gravity is keeping me down

Unfamiliar space

 

Are you the milky way?

Am I the lonely astronaut?

Led astray

 

You are making my head spin

I am no moon, this isn't love

I can still taste the gin

 

From Mercury to Neptune the colors are all there

And time goes by, measure it by light years

Just stare

 

Sort of a single slingshot gravity

Keeps me from shooting further away.

The beauty, over your capacity

 

 

If the whole galaxy was in front of you,

would you come near it? Could you?

** When you are only allowed to enjoy the view **
