Gravitation

[via My Lonely Hearts Club]

gravitation. n. movement, or tendency to move, toward a center of attractive force, as in the falling of bodies to the earth.

It doesn’t have to take more than a glance. You can tell almost immediately. Not love at first sight; rather, the recognition of potential. Or: desire.

How is it that you know this about a person so quickly? …It doesn’t matter. You must react to it. You owe it to yourself, and to whatever arcane forces in your head or in the air that’s causing this to happen.

This is more a reminder to myself than anything. For the second time in a handful of months, I discovered a connection to someone, but didn’t take action quickly enough. It’s a little frustrating when you know the only reason you’re not with someone right now is because somebody else got there first…

At the same time, I’m almost happy enough knowing that the potential is there but it isn’t going to turn into anything. A little self-denial is probably good for me.

And, anyway, I’m enjoying the tension.
