Miss Galaxy!

The girl I loved

was an unseen teacher,

sent by the universe.

She didn’t walk in with books,

nor with a stick in her hand.

But she walked in with her grace,

her beauty, her laughter,

and left with lessons as her silence.

It was more than love that I felt,

it was lessons,

lessons wrapped in her presence.

My heart learned many lessons,

but two remain forever.

One through presence

and one through her absence.

Her absence taught me what emptiness feels like

but her presence left me with memories I still marvel at.

Among all the stars in every universe I can imagine

She is the only one my heart chose to orbit.

Miss Earth and Miss International

Miss World, Miss Universe,

Miss Earth, Miss International,

For she is the queen of every universe within me.

The universe may give titles to many,

But I created a title only for her.

I crowned her as Ms. Galaxy,

for among billions of stars

She is the only one

who captured my heart,

my mind and my soul.
