Not all gravity is directional.

It’s the pull that doesn’t beg

that lingers longest.

The chalk still remembers

what wasn’t written.

Every near-touch carves its own bruise.

Some silences

burn cleaner than confession.

Some orbits

choose distance over collapse.

Even the stars hesitate sometimes

especially

when no one names the god.

its hard to write scenes where "nothing" is happening - this was great.

when i had a thing like this happen, I never had a chance to bring it up, but in my situatin i had this weird memory of years before that I had hugged them, they had offered to hug me, in this unusual room in a very "do you need a hug" situation. And I did. But I could make up my mind if it happened. I remembered about it, but not literally doing it. i was going to ask eventually if i ever saw them again, but i never did.

it sucks to never have that. it sucks because in life we all remember exactly the things we were too afraid to do. could have done, didn't, that moment sails by forever
