Held together by a force so great,
We can henceforth be called a single star,
And you shall be the star Sirius by me,
And I would be the Sirius B to thee,
For aren't you, after all, the brightest
In the entire binary collection of countless?
And aren't you, after all, the beauty
Which many astronomers journey to see?
What in space's enormity would I ever be
Without the force of gravity you share with me?
So I, the dimmer star born out of your light,
Shall share your force and always be
Your fainter friend, sole companion of yours,
As we orbit around each other for fifty
Quiet years in the galaxy, you and me,
Or perhaps a thousand more years or more...
