Not yet time for farewell,

     our tale I cannot foretell.

Wreathed,
my resolution,

     dreaming of words I’d spelt.

Why can’t I speak?

     why do the words flee my mouth?

“Please come,

     be by my side⋯”

Silently,

I screamed, wary;

Unexpected,

When I see you do,

     I breathe, fearless.

Edit: In January 2018, I briefly visited UCLA Physics’s Galactic Center Group in person, and their work served as part of the inspiration of this piece. I used to play with Kepler 2-body systems for fun, and figured that they are fairly meaningful representations of relationships (they are not as complicated).
