Lover

I fell in love with a man. Not slowly. Not carefully. Reasonable way people say love should happen. It felt like something inside me had been lit for the first time. Like I had been walking through life half asleep, and then suddenly there he was, and everything become too bright, too soft, too dangerous. I don't know if it was love, fantasy, or a spell. I only know that I wanted to be loved back with the same madness. The kind of love that does not ask for permission. The kind that like Romeo and Juliet. But this time, let me be loved while I am still here. Love me like the spell worked on you too.
