I Wish I Was an Astrophysicist

DJ Slater

The Sky takes me into her arms as I lie awake at night, And in her embrace, I smell her sweet perfume of galaxies and duality. I feel so small in her spiral arms. She is so complex, So much more than the sum of her parts. You think you know her; Trust me, you do not. Her name is not Andromeda or Milky Way. She is Universe; She is Everything. Sometimes her overwhelming everythingness is comforting. Mostly, it is confusing. I think I’ve been in love with her since the first time we met. I’d throw a rock at her window and serenade her with my love songs, Singing of her infinite beauty, Of her incredible stars, while I tried to understand how they shine. We’d have summer dates. I’d lie in the grass as she showed me her meteor showers. I think she tried to tell me something: Even though she mostly hides from me and is so complex that I could never understand her, She will always be waiting for me Until the day I join her in the Sky.
