merged with the expanse

∴ i admire you like the sun
she declared
as she dipped below the horizon’s edge
i cherish you like the moon
she expressed
as she began to wane in the night sky
i adore you like the stars
she confessed
as she shimmered, distant yet radiant
i revere you like the cosmos
she surrendered
as she merged with the expanse at the break of dawn ∴
