“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

The moment I met you I knew you could be my forever the one I’ve always searched for the one to crack Eternity and Infinity with

I’ve heard the Music of the Spheres with you the Music the Pythagorians looked for we’ve talked and talked but, at the end, I’d give everything to hear you sing

Watch you take center stage, a humble Goddess enchanting everyone with your Music looking at the audience but focusing on me we’d smile, we’d cry, and the Universe would bloom

The little fragile roses in our chest would explode and shake the 9 realms revive Centaurs and Amazons from their slumber along with all who came before and all who’ll come after

Before and after will cease to exist entropy and extropy, yin and yang will merge and the Eternal Present shall become clear M-dwarves, supergiants and Betelguese would all go supernova

The great mystery of the world would unfold matter and energy would be reunited Angels, Jinn, Valkyries and spirits would dance among the stars with us

We’d live forever in eternal bliss with no pain and sadness but we’d still be the same in that faraway so close realm

Beyond the end of the rainbow where Love and Life become One
