I chose you in the chaos,

Through galaxies unnamed,

Held fast by a pull I can’t explain,

Each breath tied to yours,

And in the dark that rushes forward,

You’re the only light I know.

This feeling consumes me,

Swelling deep as oceans.

You’re my first and the last,

The answer echoing in silence—

The only one I’ll ever need.

I’d give up a thousand worlds,

Cross the broken heavens,

Burn through the stars for this chance,

To find you in the fragments,

To hear my heart beat again,

Revived in your serendipity.

Let me be your beginning, your end,

The only choice left when all is done.

So come closer, step into fate,

As it twists and shifts around us—

Here, we rewrite our stars,

Two souls in a universe all our own.
