Star-crossed lovers



There's something about the way my hand fits into yours
And when our eyes meet it's like a cataclysmic explosion

With you time and space reconfigures into a single, fiery focal point
Like the sub-atomic particle that formed all life

There's something about your smile that I can't help but adore
And when our lips touch it's like I'm tasting ambrosia, as I become inebriated from the momentary fusion

When I'm with you my heart pitter-patters and detaches from my body as it soars through the heavens like a supernova
For I know I'm experiencing the final evolutionary stages of who I am now
And a new me is being born

Now that I've met you nothing can be the same
My whole being quickens at the sound of your name
