Trying to see you through the clouds and even though I know I shouldn’t

And my vision is now green

It’s an uncanny feeling

That I want more of

Looking at you as plainly as a star

Big bright and round and whatever you are

Using the clouds as a shade

Like at once we are looking at eachother

Like making eye contact with some great beast

You looking at this gem you suspend in space

Laying eyes on a star is far less than seeing Sol

Maybe it’s because they’ve always said don’t look

I’ve learnt “don’t” actually means “there’s a way to do it anyways but I’m not going to tell you”

Well

Within limits

Obviously there is a way to jump from a plane and live but I’m not going to demonstrate because

I don’t know how

And it’s dangerous

“Don’t” usually means “outcome of success unknown/low”

We push the limits

It’s what we do

Someday I hope I’m big enough that I can hold the Sun

So many weights this being carries

Some we don’t even know about

I hope other people sing for you on this planet

That other people chance a look up

My only companion

It’s best it stays cloudy

But I hope other people notice you like I do
