How can a situation have gravity?

That's a force right, gravity?

Does that mean it can be any force, because emotion is a force, sometimes like a hurricane, others like a drought.

A person can be a force: compelling or unstoppable or stunning.

So what does that mean, gravity? If we're sitting in your car and, like two bodies in motion, collide, press together, grasp, try to become one we're getting so close, is that gravity?

I think we're fighting inertia or using it or ignoring it.

If we're stuck at an impasse and there's nothing left to say then won't we stay that way?

But if emotion is a force and I want you so bad, won't I start moving toward you? And I suppose it won't stop until your body against mine exerts pressure in a different direction.

Or maybe what we're feeling is magnetism, a perversion of Newton's third law. One word from you can entrance me, just one touch jolts me into a tailspin.

It's strange how these equal reactions are taking their toll on my self control, and the force of your presence is maddening.

But the longer I think about it the more sense it makes that this equation really adds up.

With the math right in front of me and endless results, this gravity starts to seem natural.

So as these forces combine to push us together so close, so close, so close, I've discovered my new favorite subject: the physics of you and me.
