Written in the Stars

No lover will
Ever 
Love you
As much as I do. 

 
 
Outlandish, 
I know.

 
 
But true.

 
 
Because this isn’t even optional 
Love 
It just is. 
Otherworldly shit. 

 
 
I don’t get to choose not to
Love you
Like this. 

 
 
Soaked into my skin, my pores, my cells. 
I have tried every possible 
Way 
To get you out. 

 
 
But now I realise 
It’s just not up to me. 

 
 
I finally understand 
That even when you run,
I still feel you.
Maybe you’re even trying to
Run from it...
But it’s inside you too. 

 
 
So whatever step I take 
And whatever step you take 
Is completely 
Irrelevant. 

 
 
It’s not an exaggeration that 
We
Were
Written in the stars. 

 
 
We don’t even need to
Read the words 
From here. 
Just look up 
And there they are
Timeless 
Unfaltering 
Clear
And oh, so there. 

 
 
And my,
How bright they shine.
