I could talk about how you caught my eye 
Like an insomniac catches the cold But how cliche I could talk about the whimsy in your eyes
 The way they light up 
 When you speak passionately But how cliche I could talk about how you taste like home
Where I could sleep in peace forever But how cliche How can one go on?
 When miles of words are already written
 When thoughts have already been thought
When feelings have already been felt
 When beauty has already been beheld? I hate being optimistic
 But everything has already been written
 How could my metaphors be any different? But it makes sense Because darling, 
I cannot think of any word that describes you,
To me
 Even our vast vernacular 
Cannot contain my emotional state For you look of a color never seen
 A flower never felt
 And a song yet to be heard Simply put
 I can’t describe you
 You’re not beyond beautiful 
 You’re beyond words

We Have Stardust in Our Veins
I could talk about how you caught my eye 
Like an insomniac catches the cold But how cliche I could talk about the whimsy in your eyes
 The way they light up 
 When you speak passionately But how cliche I could talk about how you taste like home
Where I could sleep in peace forever But how cliche How can one go on?
 When miles of words are already written
 When thoughts have already been thought
When feelings have already been felt
 When beauty has already been beheld? I hate being optimistic
 But everything has already been written
 How could my metaphors be any different? But it makes sense Because darling, 
I cannot think of any word that describes you,
To me
 Even our vast vernacular 
Cannot contain my emotional state For you look of a color never seen
 A flower never felt
 And a song yet to be heard Simply put
 I can’t describe you
 You’re not beyond beautiful 
 You’re beyond words
