Well, a more poetic description of Newtonian gravity (which may or may not also be reusable for relativity with some edits) goes that:

"The entire Universe longs to be in equilibrium, in balance. This equilibrium was disrupted some 13.75 billion years ago, and since then all the splinters have been trying to reunite into a single whole, the distance between them and various other forces hampering their quest to become one again. It is the natural equilibrium that all masses attract eachother in the same way that opposite electromagnetic charges must attract eachother. "
