Skittles: what it feels like to love her today

2/14/18
I'm afraid I'm In Love With a Star.
I'm afraid I'm in love with a Heavenly Body,
that philosophers struggled to name.
For who names angels?
I'm afraid I'm in love with the farthest star, that can be seen with the naked eye,
with no light pollution.
I'm afraid I'm in love with something so aw inspiring,
that it is the muse for art, poetry, and love songs,
but also provokes innovation.
I'm afraid I'm in love with a fire that I will never experience in person,
never be in the same space.
I'm afraid I'm in love with the potential to give life and support life,
that I will never truly understand.
I'm afraid I'm in love with something that has traveled so far,
and known so much.
I'm afraid I'm in love with a multi-dimensional being.
Both a particle and a wave,
and whatever else she wants to be.
I'm afraid I'm in love spectrum of colors.
Some I can't see,
or even begin to comprehend,
I wish I could.
I'm afraid I'm in love with a origin story I won't get to know.
I'm trying to make peace with that.
I'm afraid I'm in love with the light that has already burned out.
