Colliding Stars

There was a twinkling in your eyes, when we first met. 
The light pulled me in, into a cosmos of your own. 
It was new, but humble, terrifying but lovely, it was strange but familiar. 
The star dusts in my bones, trembled at the sight of you. 
Like I knew you. Like my star dusts knew yours. 
I could tell you felt it too. I felt your star dusts shake in you.
Defying gravity, I wanted to float into your space
and discover the colours of your galaxies, the universe in your eyes.
With curiosity for your unknown, there was a black hole sucking me in, 
into your singularity. 
That's what was happening. 
Stardust to stardust.
It was you and me. 
We were two colliding stars.
