A Gentle Alignment

We fell into each other like planets finding orbit
A slow gravitational pull we couldn't abort
Your gravity was gentle, drawing me in close
A quiet kind of chaos that nobody knows
We aligned in the darkness, bodies finding their way
Soft words in the silence, promises we'd say
The stars seemed to witness, the night seemed to approve
A perfect configuration of what we couldn't prove

A gentle alignment
Soft lies in the pull that felt so right
Hard goodbyes hidden in the night
A gentle alignment
Bodies in sync with the universe's plan
Until the orbit started to bend

The pull became heavier, the distance grew wide
What once felt like destiny now felt like a tide
Pulling us apart in the same quiet way
We drifted in silence, no words left to say
I watched you recede like a Moon losing phase
The light growing dimmer with each passing day
The alignment was perfect, but perfect can't last
When the forces that brought us together drift into the past

A gentle alignment
Soft lies in the pull that felt so right
Hard goodbyes hidden in the night
A gentle alignment
Bodies in sync with the universe's plan
Until the orbit started to bend

Now I float in the vacuum where your gravity was
A satellite lonely, following laws
The stars still shine distant, indifferent and cold
A reminder of orbits that no longer hold
Sometimes in the quiet I feel the old pull
A ghost of alignment, beautiful and cruel
I know it's illusion, a trick of the void
But I let it linger, the silence enjoyed
