Shooting Star

Captivated by a brief moment, 

We shared,

Stoplight red,

Bodies buzzing from our spa date-

Talking,

Reminiscing-

Laughing and loving.

Mid sentence,

I stop,

I ask if you saw it,

You did- 

We are both in complete shock and awe,

What a perfect ending to a perfect day,

Honestly, a perfect few.

You surprised me,

Though my soul innately knew you were coming- 

And here,

But a surprise nonetheless.

A precious little bubble of joy,

We allowed ourselves to get immersed in- 

Shutting out the outside world for just a few days,

To get lost in, us.

I love us.

I love all that we bring to the table,

The balance we give one another, 

And the safety and security we foster each and every moment-

You are the love of my life,

And my gratitude is overflowing.

When I saw that star shooting across the black night sky,

Bright and on a mission,

I simply knew,

It was a confirmation from the universe that we are exactly where we are meant to be-

My love,

You are meant to be with me, and I with you-

The galaxy we've built together, 

Has burned brighter than we could have ever imagined,

Countless stars, suns, and moons

Orbiting,

Floating,

Thriving.

I will choose to shoot across the dark night sky with you, 

On any given day,

In any given moment,

To every possible realm.
