there was a time i loved you in a way not even the heavens could comprehend the kind of love that stops the stars and makes the galaxy question its own existence without hesitation i loved the uncertainty of not knowing what came next and the comfort of existing there anxiously with you

the times you looked at me like nothing else was living and the comfortable silence we felt at home in alone with each other in the quiet corners of the late night certain the world was ours

the raw imperfection of everything we thought we knew the way you smiled and i smiled too the spinning feeling of coming and going but never really leaving and how time seemed to stand still and wait for us to give it permission to move how we struggled to breathe between laughs even when nothing was funny or nothing was said how when things didn't go quite as planned we still found a way to make them ours because the world was ours and the stars still sat frozen watching from the balcony amazed and in awe

the quick and subtle glances the ones that say you are my world everything in it and more when you can't find the words to say that yourself and how we thought that would never end until we died old in some romantic defiance of the gods hand in hand gray hair wrinkled skin a life long from now with decades of memories behind it a world conquered and tamed by our unparalleled energy we dreamed of those days old forgetting our story but still stopping time

we thought we answered every reason that this this would never end discovered all of the pits and challenges that could get in the way i guess we missed one

there was a time i loved you and the world stood and watched but still it wasn't enough
