The world was dark, there was no sound
I had no direction, no up or down.
I was a nothing, floating, in nothingness.
Still waiting for my 'big bang' of consciousness.
I had no space, no time, no room for air,
I wasn't even aware that I wasn't aware.
It was emptier than emptiness; vacuum. Nil.
I was alone in every sense of the word, until...
I saw you....and BANG.
There was light, in my eyes, and my life began .
My world, once a dot, now expanding so fast.
My mind was just a spark, now feels like a blast.
I can sense time now, like a ripple over drape.
I can almost see the edges of my world taking shape.
Atoms, quarks, electrons and rays,
And all the other pieces now falling into place.
I feel you.... Your pull and your force.
But are you in my orbit, or am I in yours?
I think of resisting, it doesn't last very long.
Because physics is against me, and your gravity is strong.
I feel drawn... Like a planet to a star.
Even though I know, I must circle from afar.
Because you're full of fire, and I'm just me.
I can sense that you'll consume me eventually.
Unless I can be, a star you can turn to.
And maybe, who knows, one day I might even burn you.
And then we can spend the rest of our cosmic life
Playing star struck husband and planetary wife.
.
But at this point, we must take a pause.
And discuss the most important of Newton's laws.
Every body in this universe with X\
