Stardust


I have this theory that you put the stars in the sky. That the wind was destined to howl your name and the clouds clear a path for you to run. That the grass hugs your feet as you walk across it and that thunder cracks when you hit me with that smirk. I held you and it felt like I've held you a thousand times before and still I pray for a million times more. You are my sober and you get me drunk on your lips. You are my calm and I your storm. I have this theory that God cast us both down on this earth and told us to find each other and throw the world off balance. I have this theory that God gives me a nod of consent when we're about to sin. Like it's okay to love you. And It's okay to let you love me. And when you ask me how I'm doing, I usually say "okay" and you say "just okay?" And I say "yeah." And it may not seem like much but okay is the best I've ever been when I'm away from you. And I don't use the term lightly. When I said okay I meant that there is peace in my mind somewhere amidst the constant panic and worry.  There is a part of me that knows God will never take you away from me. And this might be a little religious for me and I might be getting this whole God thing all wrong but goddamit I have this theory that the heavens bow to your glory and when you touch me I fly. And I don't ever wanna touch the ground. I have this theory that you put the stars in the sky. And stardust in my eyes.
