Gravity

For so long, I thought that it was 

gravity that

held me on the earths surface,

Gravity that kept 

me here

For so long, I was unconscious to the 

most important

things that surrounded me.

Until one day,

I sat and thought,

thought about life, and maybe 

there was something more 

than gravity

Something more potent that kept

me alive

Night after night,
I would lie awake,
wondering if someone was watching
every
move that I make

I began to think, 

to search

more and more desperately as time

went on

But my eyes were closed

to that which was so simple and so close by

I sat by my friends day by day,

unsure of how to concur this mystery that I

now face

But they spoke kind words,

and helped me with my case,

they stood by my side through the most troubling

days

It wasn't till after class

that I then fully understood

I was right,

It was never gravity that held me to the

earths surface,
nor my friends kind words that
helped me
throughout the worst

But that which represents all things
living,
a smile that makes your
heart stop

Eyes that represent
moonlight on the sea,

That which is curious,
adventurous, knowing
and mild

Him

He was the one 

that kept me thinking through the night,
he was the one
that made my heart stop when he was in
sight

He was the one that often smiled
and that made
me go the extra mile

He was the one
and
I now finally
understood
