But, you know what I think? The most beautiful skies Are inside of your eyes Stop, don’t blink Let me sink a little deeper I don’t need a telescope to see That supernova Expanding infinitely Like a ripple that a pebble makes The clicking shutter That takes all of me in Houston, we have a problem I can’t escape this black hole It’s pulling me in I’ll reach out into that darkness Brave all of your ice and coldness For that little cosmos with veins of gold; Shades of blue, Green and brown, So simple, Nonjudgmental as a penny That’s been left out in the rain Many times before Once more I’ve caught your glancing flit Asteroids approaching I take a direct hit Falling endlessly, consumed Among the billions of stars in your eyes Like Major Tom, I would accept that fate, To float in limbo Lost in that space Out of sight If worm holes existed I’d sink through all that Depth, Come through the other side And find that alternate universe-- The dimension where you would have me. There is no corner of space to call home without you Three. Two. One. Lift-off. ★。/|\。★ 。☆。 。☆。 ☆。 ★。 ☆.

*For those who don't know-- the Houston line is from the film Apollo 13, which is based off of an actual incident that occurred during the real Apollo 13 spacecraft's flight to the moon. *The penny left in the rain is in fact a corroding, or oxidized, penny...meaning it is truly brown, green, and blue. The comparison to the eye is literal in multiple ways. *Major Tom is a song reference to David Bowie's Major Tom (Coming Home) in which Tom, a ficticious astronaut, is cut-off from all contact and trapped adrift in space. Look up the lyrics, it'll make you cry.
