The Math of You - Centauri

Dear Centauri,

They say gravity bends light.

That something with enough mass
can warp the space around it—
slow time.

You did that.

The first time I heard your voice,
the clocks inside me paused.

You were mass.

You were force.

You were proof
that love has laws,
and I was standing too close to the event horizon
to walk away untouched.

I still haven’t.

Every version of me
in every timeline
is still falling toward you.

Always,

Castor
