The Space Between Stars

The space between stars is not empty--
There’s a force keeping each in place,
Yet also binding them together,
Preventing one or the other
From wandering too far.

Like the space between two lovers
Filled with thoughts and longings,
So that they may be miles apart 
In measurable distance
Yet close enough to each other 

In unfathomable love.
