Analysis of Oh Love We Have Captured The Stars



Oh, Love, we have captured the stars, not with hand,
But with hearts intertwined, a daring command.
We dreamt of the cosmos, a future unknown,
And built a rocketship, fueled by love alone.

We soared past the clouds, leaving doubt far behind,
Leaving behind worries, and a new world to find.
Galaxies shimmer, a celestial spree,
Love's laughter echoes, forever we'll be.

Hand in hand, we dance on the moon's silver sheen,
Planting our flag, a love evergreen.
The stars may be distant, but love's the key,
Oh, love, we've captured them, eternally.
With our hearts and with our hands
