“I love you to the moon and back,
and again,

and again,

and again.”

And even though your lungs
stopped breathing,
it’s okay
because there is no
oxygen in space.

And even though your eyes
are closed and full
of darkness,
it doesn’t matter because
in the galaxies,
there are stars.

And I know that your body
is rigid from the ice,
but I can give you a space suit
and you’ll never be
cold again.

I would do anything for you.

I will love you till
there is no more air
or light
or warmth.

“I love you to the moon and back,
and again,

and again,

and again.”
