Gravity

Summary:

This story is inspired by the song Gravity by Sara Bareilles.

What is gravity?

 

Gravity is the force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass.

 

Maybe that is one way of describing love. Love is a force that pulls you towards another person. When you feel like floating away, it is the force that ties you to the ground.

Notes:

Let me park this here while I gather my thoughts.

Chapter 1: The song

Chapter Text

"Gravity"

By Sara Bareilles


Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

[CHORUS:]
Set me free,
Leave me be.
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need here on the ground.

But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down.

You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
