My Center of Gravity

I feel a sense of presence when I’m with you

Life gives me presents when I least expect it

Gifts beyond any wish or any list

With you— everything I feel is true

Today we watched a parade of butterflies

A flurry of wonder before our eyes

Sharing our lives, we see the world together

Living mine with you makes it so much better

I get to live these moments twice

Through your eyes— then mine

My place next to you is my center of gravity

Fulfillment is pulled from everywhere — when you’re next to me
