Over billions of years

 

A whole lot had to happen -

the Big Bang, the galaxies, the stars
the Milky Way, the Sun, the Earth,
the first drop of rain,
and
the first tear of
heartbreak and pain,

and had to happen
      just in the right way
for you to nibble,
      playfully,
on my nipples
and send waves of tsunamis
      traveling up my limbs.

It always makes me wonder
that over billions of years
how did the universe transpired
to create a moment
      sublime as this.

Did it all unfold
      just for you
and me?
