"Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love"


"You don't know what love is!" Mama shouted at me
across the room in her deathbed, with miller in her hand.

Breathe slowly,
exhale softly;
I closed my eyes and imagined...

You know what I imagined, Mama?

I imagined,
A love, that is not the legalized marriage we all hope to get.
A love, that is not the order your parents make.
A love, that is not the unsettling feeling in the pits of your lips when you say the things you don't mean to say.

I imagined,
A love, that makes the butterflies in my stomach free,
A love, that I cannot hold gravity responsible for this deadly sin.
A love, that makes every cell in this empty, thirsty body dance and scream...

I took a breath, and opened my eyes. Standing there, awake, but deeply asleep...

You know what I imagined, Mama?

I wanted a love that no God, Priest, Family, Person, You, Him, Her, They, Government, Society, World, Mama, Papa, or thing can not permit.

What year
did love become a label on married couples can have?
What year
did the World say I cannot be in love when under-aged?
What year
did love become something only in fiction stories and nothing you see everyday?

I may be young and ignorant, but please,
with
a whisper
and heavy heart
all I could
croak with this hoarse throat
and these strong eyes:

"Please mama; don't take my baby away."

Perhaps if you understand the reason there should be no love-limitations in any countries, corners, homes, or the world, then it will be definite you will find the devastation of forbidden love real.
