It wasn’t a love
It was a fever
A bright
Delirious animal
That crawled out of the dark
And whispered your name
Like it had been starving for it
It bent the air around you
Warped the hours
Turned every rule into smoke
The world said no
But the world was small
And your hearts were enormous
Two celestial mistakes
Orbiting too close
To avoid collision
It felt illegal
In the way storms are illegal
Too wild
Too luminous
Too full of the kind of truth
That makes ordinary people
Look away
You touched
And the universe flinched
You looked at each other
And gravity forgot its job
Every moment was a doorway
You weren’t supposed to open
So of course you opened it
Again
Again
Again
Until the hinges glowed
Forbidden love is a spell
Cast by accident
Broken on purpose
And still somehow
Alive
It doesn’t end
It just hides
In the pulse
In the breath
In the impossible place
Where two souls meet
Even when the world
Says they shouldn’t
