If you are not my love,
then the sun is not a star,
just a big round light in the sky.
If you don't own my heart,
then the stars are just illusions,
fireflies lost in the black.
If my heart does not stop,
when I see your lovely face,
then the moon is a silver banana,
pinned on the night sky.
If you are not the air,
the air in my lungs
that lets me breathe,
then I have not lived,
lived to see your lovely face.
