Maybe We Fall In Love Like That
Maybe We Fall In Love Like That
You are in flames.
Your scars burn naked.
Maybe I love your scars when they are open and loud
So that I can make some space for myself in its healing.
Maybe I like making love to your scars!
Or maybe I wish to be burnt as well!
WE. are in flames.
Maybe the heat in this anguish reminds me, reminds you, reminds us
Of our secret intimacy.
Maybe this is how we like each other's body,
Sweat dripping down the spine,
Meeting blood somewhere on its way.
Maybe they quietly share a kiss.
The clouds revolt.
They do not like the fire that has set out
Or maybe they cannot see us burning in it.
Maybe they are unaware of the way we make love to each other
Maybe our love is distinct!
But we do not fret the thunders when they dawn the night.
Maybe we are burnt enough to embrace the rains.
It rains!
It rains and the flames vanish away.
Maybe they are still hiding beneath our skin
Or maybe they have loved us enough and left us away.
Maybe we have started to heal!
Maybe the rains have taken our love back with 'em to the clouds
Maybe the thunders shall return it back to us someday
Or maybe we would never find the same love again!
Maybe I have stopped loving your scars
Or maybe I now love you more without them.
