special ellipse

for too long, fragmented arcs
not fitting together, broken
until you, now it is as if
a compass has drawn the
perfect circumference
tangent touching
your radius, straight to my heart
reflection symmetry
the arcs now fitting together

the sum of the two distances

to the focal points is a constant

enclosing the circle
completing me
