“I’m thinking its a sign
That the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
And when we kiss they’re perfectly aligned
And I’d have to speculate
that god himself did make us into corresponding shapes
like puzzle pieces from the clay”

Did you ever notice how we really do fit together like we were
cast from the same mold and were only separated when it was broken
because God couldn’t bare to make a replica of the magic we would become
I’m thinking about how when you lay next to me
and there is not millimeter of distance between us because
we just fit together

Like peanut butter and fluff
Or waffles and strawberries
Have you ever looked at the globe and
traced out the outlines of continents
And then crossed the ocean and traced the outline of their partner?
I’ll be Africa if you be South America and we can cut out the distance of the ocean
I’ll put my arms around you like you like it
And we can just lay here
Every crevice between us filled with some part of the other
and if there happens to be a gap
It could only be because I’m not perfect
But I mean it when i say it
Like when I kiss you
I’m not just throwing them out there hoping they will land where you might like them

As a little boy I knew I was different
I did not throw pennies into wishing wells
praying for a mermaid
Instead I tipped my chin to the stars, blew kisses to the moon
and prayed for a goddess
Something I could worship
And I know its hypocritical
To hold something else so high
But if god made you it was with a purpose

They say that there is one person for everyone
And finding them is the hardest part
But I like to think maybe God
sprinkled you a little over here and me a little over there
providing some much needed distance knowing it was only a matter of time before we
became so overpowered by the magnetism
the natural attraction could not be fought
and we would have to submit

Because to me
Your body is a constellation
And I want to trace your stars
Plant my kisses where you burn brightest
And outline your figure with my finger tips
I wont sleep, But I’ll be right here
Never taking my eyes off of you because in the morning the magic could be gone
And will have to wait an entire day
To lie next to you again in your most beautiful form
In our bed as you glow against moonlight
Your are the my universe and I am your cosmonaut
