--i need you--


--i need you--it spoke

with pain, as it revolved another.

 

--and, I, you--the second spoke,

inaudible to all but the first.

 

Revolving, they spoke of

their passions’, wants’, likes’,

each other, and themselves.

 

They spoke without

words, for words didn't

exist to them.

 

--does he know what you

want--asked the second.

 

--he does, he knows well. He

can't do anything, he's stuck

where he is. What about yours, does he know

what you want--replied, and asked the

first.

 

--he's aware of what I want, and

what I need. He knows I need you,

 he too is stuck, however--

 

--what are we to do...this space is...--

the first spoke, again, inaudibly.

 

--we wait...i'm not leaving you...--

the second affirmed, still revolving around

the first.

 

--and i'm not leaving you...--

 

Simply being, the two revolved, and

revolved, until theirs' met; only then would

they rejoice, and dance in their space.

 

Together finally, after days, months,

and years, they became one when theirs'

were one, too. When theirs' loved, laughed,

cried, danced, and laid together, they too

loved, laughed, cried, danced, and laid

together. They, and theirs' were one.

 

Forever revolving around each other, and

themselves.
