Caught In Orbit

What if love

is like outer space?

We are

the planets and the stars.

Maybe

love is a collision.

The beautiful, terrifying

crash in the sky.

But,

that's just it.

We crash and shatter,

or collide and fall apart.

Maybe

we were only together

just to rebound,

just to fly apart.

But, oh, my dear,

you see this all wrong.

We are not planets repelled from each other

by the direction of our lives.

I am a star,

bright and steadfast.

You are a planet,

caught in orbit.

Maybe you leave

and I'm left behind.

But that's the beauty

of you in orbit,

you can always come back around.
