With love, yours
I did not ask the stars not to come,
But they did not show up,
For my eyes twinkled enough with my love for you.
I did not ask the moon to do so,
But she drew a rainbow you never looked up to see,
For I painted her craters with my love for you.
I did not ask the tides to fall,
But they held themselves back,
For I had already drowned in my love for you.
The sun dimmed herself, for my love burned brighter
The universe bowed down to my love, yet
My love did not seem enough.
Everyone knew my love for you
Everyone—but you.
