Everything is a delicate haze of unsteady lightness. I drifted through my days like a solitary feather, floating in a world where no one truly saw me. The air around me was thin, ethereal, and full of possibility, yet I was tethered to nothing and no one. I was lost in the wind of my own solitude, a ghost passing through the realms of a world that felt indifferent. A passing breeze sent to refresh others and move forward. 

And then, you appeared. 

Like gravity, you grounded my feet deep in the soil for a life to take root and grow anew. Your presence, a force so gentle, yet so powerful that it pulled me from the clouds. Your eyes, like the sky itself, blessed me. The light blue aura that surrounded me in the sky when I was in the clouds, bursting out whenever your gaze met mine. In the morning, they mirror the soft snowy light, a serene azure that sends shivers into my soul. As the day wanes, they deepen to a stormy indigo, reflecting the myriad shades of the nightfall, sparkling as softly as the stars in the night sky. Each glance, each look from her, from you, placed around me an invisible hand jumpstarting my heart. 

Your encapsulating body, a slender, graceful constellation of curves that fit so perfectly against mine. One which my fingers dared not touch, as I memorized you. Your warmth, a comforting blaze against the coldest of nights, a soft sanctuary amidst the chilling glares of the unlucky souls wandering enviously outside of her arms, I find a respite that defies the frost outside, a cocoon of safety that I never want to leave. 

Your innocence is like a candle that shines through the mundane moments of our days. In you, I see a purity that shields you from the world's complexity, a reminder of simple truths and honest emotions provoking a contemptuous ideology the world introduces, grow up or don’t grow at all. Your care is unspoken yet profoundly felt, like a gentle gravity that keeps me from drifting into the abyss. 

You are the hope that makes me believe in a joyful future. Your love makes me feel seen and grounded, offering a promise that I will never again be lost. With you, I have discovered that stability is not a prison, but a place where love blooms, where dreams can take root and grow. 

In your gravity, I have found my place, my purpose. You are the force that keeps me from drifting, in an endlessly populating space. You are the one who gives my heart a home. As long as you’re near, I am anchored in the belief that together, we will navigate the vast expanse of our future, forever grounded. Stedfast you hold me like gravity.
