I think it's beautiful, the way the
Sun puts stars in your eyes.
And all the imperfections highlighted by your smile,
Which can cause the earth to tremble in awe.
You could shatter the moon with one glance, and put the fragments back in order with one gentle breath.
You hold the universe in your arms
Like a precious gift;
Sweetly but firmly.
But you hold me like stardust, as if you are afraid I'll slip through your fingers.

        What an amazing verse! I am in awe of your talent! You ARE like stardust and if i were the person 'holding' u in your writing here, then i would graciously encourage you to slip away into the world where your beautiful future awaits. I would glory in the knowledge that u once looked into my old eyes and were so inspired.
        This goes straight into my favourites. I'm zonked by this.
