Sleeping At LastVenus

the night sky once ruled my imagination.
now I turn the dials with careful calculation.
after a while, I thought I’d never find you.
I convinced myself that I would never find you,
when suddenly I saw you.
at first I thought you were a constellation.
I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation:
you’re as beautiful as endless,
you’re the universe I’m helpless in.
an astronomer at my best
when I throw away the measurements.
like a telescope,
I will pull you so close
'til no space lies in between.
and suddenly I see you.
suddenly I see you.
I was a billion little pieces
'til you pulled me into focus.
astronomy in reverse,
It was me who was discovered.
(I thought I’d never find you,
when suddenly I saw you.)
like a telescope,
I will pull you so close,
'til no space lies in between.
then suddenly I see you.
