Like Gravity

Like gravity, silent, invisible,

There’s a pull I can’t unfeel.

Your presence tugs at my orbit,

Mine shifts to the way you move.

We never touch, 

See, smell, taste or feel, 

Yet something in the space between

Hums with a quiet force. 

We attract like opposites do:

Positive and negative,

North and south,

Two poles that shouldn’t meet

Bur we lean in.

And in that pull,

In that delicate tension,

We become,

A universe of our own.
