You were just a speck of stardust in my sky
\nfloating, lingering, a faded memory I can\u2019t deny,
\nthe swirling galaxy in my head, my star from another universe.
\nIt\u2019s been hundreds of light years since JOY dawned on me
\nDidn\u2019t notice you before as I\u2019m too pre-occupied being captivated by CENTAURUS,
\nYou were just there, one of the LIGHTS in my own constellation but I was too blind to see.<\/p>\n
One day my life had a complete turn around
\nBy just staring at your serene face takes me to the Heavens,
\nLike a LIGHT illuminating my path spreading good CHEER
\nRemoving me from a dark hole of OBLIVION.
\nYou\u2019re like a NEBULA which left my heart amazed
\nAnd here I am standing right before my FUTURE,
\nANDROMEDA is waiting for her ORION\u2019s heart to awaken
\nFor them to share eternity in a lost world that is yet to be discovered. <\/p>\n
Your star and my star sometimes COLLIDE,
\nBut your beam keeps on striking me even from a far
\nThe fierce look in your eyes tells me something you can\u2019t simply hide
\nYes, you are drawn to my radiant ANGELIC glow\u2026
\nDESTINY and space will let our SOULS meet time and again
\nIn a thousand reincarnations I have seen your many faces\u2026
\nThere\u2019s always something familiar about YOU anywhere we meet.<\/p>\n
My DREAMs would take me sometimes to a far away planet in the MILKY WAY
\nMETEORS and COMETS accompany me to the path leading again to you\u2026
\nYou\u2019re a BEAUTIFUL mess of neon hues circling my mind like the rings of SATURN
\nThe son of VENUS \u2026
\nYes, it\u2019s always been YOU in a trillion lifetimes, I have been following YOU
\nMy constellations will help me to tell YOU how PRECIOUS you are, my ORION.<\/p>\n
