Chapter 5: "The Orbit"

Love Left Me, But I StayedWords: 482

You were gravity, pulling me into quiet force.

I tried to resist,

But your presence became my orbit.

With you, I felt infinite—

A thousand stars igniting my chest.

But infinity is fleeting,

And now I wonder

If I ever knew how to stand without you.

Author's Note*

With you I felt like the universe was conspiring in our favor, but now I'm left questioning if it was all an illusion. You gave me a fire I've never known, but now I have to figure out if I can keep burning on my own.
