I Dream Not To Hold a God

Being with you is overwhelming for
You are so much more than I am
You fill my thoughts and spill out my heart
For you are too much

You are so much more than I am
Because you are a god I dream not to hold
For you are too much
For a mortal like me

Because you are a god I dream not to hold
Because your beauty is too unearthly 
For a mortal like me
And I love you so much more than I should

Because your beauty is too unearthly 
You hold thousands of suns in your hands
And I love you more than I should
For you may burn me without intention 

You hold a thousand suns in your hands
And I should not get close the moon within your eyes
For you may burn me without intention 
And you can control the oceans and tide

And I should not get close to the moon within your eyes
Because the moon controls the raging water
And you can control the oceans and tide
And you may drown me without intention 

Because the moon controls the raging water
And I cannot get to close
And you may drown me without intention
I love you so much more than I should
