Description
Seeing you from afar, from the safety of my home planet,
I felt this urge, this need,
to explore you.

I would steal nights, just to see you.
To watch you shimmer, watch you move,
watch you sparkle.

---

I wasn't patient, I should have waited,
until I was better educated,
better experienced.

But I took off - shuttled and launched,
blasting off and away,
just to say hi.

---

I stared into your black holes - I got lost in your galaxies,
I felt sucked in,
and captured.

Awe-inspired,
and in love,
with you.

---

I learned, you were not capable of love, of warmth,
other than bursts,
of dying stars.

You were colder than I expected,
and so I finally,
was.
