im not so sure i believe in fate
but i have no doubt that
i was in the right place at
the right time
when your eyes first burned
right through mine
another time,
a different place
and i probably
would have never recognized
your grace

i dont know if i should thank
Fate or the stars or God
for aligning our paths but ive
never been more certain,
i want you and i (us) to last
longer than the light from
long-dead stars that continues
to race through space
searching for a set of eyes to
validate the existence of stars
that no longer are

and like that light that continues
to shine though it source
no longer exists

your smouldering eyes haunt
my mind,
and my passion for you
will forever persist
