Ten and Ten, Plus Two

maybe I’m not a writer
maybe I’m not an artist
maybe I’m an observer
but it is as if the Gods are paying me back for everything
by giving me
you
and with you I have walked on the tops of glaciers
with you I have watched solar storms
from near the Arctic Circle
we’ve even held hands on the Great Wall of China
as I said before,
I’m only an observer
and with these observations,
I thee wed
because I will never let you go
I’ve seen galaxies collide
I’ve seen comets smash into planets
I’ve seen supernovas and the death of stars
and in all of that, I still found you
as I said, I’m only an observer
but I’ve found what I’ve been looking for
so I’ll tighten my grip on your hand
because I don’t ever want to let you go
