Heat Wave

Jupiter, a world far larger than Earth, is so warm that it radiates more internal heat than it receives from the Sun. Your soul emits such heat that I can barely stand to be around you, yet I cannot stop my yearning. It must be true that opposites attract as my wax heart could not resist your beaming warmth. Every time I left, I would leave diminished and wilted, every time I left more of myself behind. Such burning heat, such a blazing passion. Few could handle your glow.

Your personality so big, so immense it dwarfs all around it. A gravitational pull few could resist. You would walk into a room and everything else would fall away, eyes would stare and people would congregate around you as if you pulled them towards you. Your smile a black hole, inescapable and unfathomable both exhilarating  and exhausting. It often felt as if light itself could not escape your countenance.
