Across the night sky, in the pitch black, was laid,

She was set against the backdrop of the sky,

He in the ocean of the unknown pooled her to fade,

Her light burned bright, his pupils pierced to stay.

The distances of the galaxies whether far or near,

Meant to him a vast nothing. She belonged to him,

From some life earlier, image of her brought a tear,

He knew they were linked in love from that dream.

He'd place a wish once night fell, hoping for their love to be uncovered,

Yearning she would descend from the sky for everyone to see, promising of becoming more,

More than just star-crossed lovers.

For her to land in his outstrectched arms for ever eternity.

He longed for this wish to come true, as for her to be his one true mate.

He having faith this would be, his eternal fate.

the lines are messed up, but they are right, the copy and paste messed it up.
