Love

people are large masses of delicate glass
caught in a continuous magnetic field
of one another
we orbit each other cautiously
we want to collide
but we pause
because collisions can cause damage
and we can’t risk shattering
but we still hope that
one day
we’ll take the risk
and collide into someone
who’s shattering will fit perfectly with our own
and their missing pieces will be the pieces we ourselves possess
and our missing pieces will be the pieces that they’ll possess
then, jagged edges will become aligned
and we will become
whole.
