Has your heart fluttered as fast as the pages of a book caught in the midst of a storm?And to such simple words…If I could write down the way it was said to me, I would, but these words would never do it justice, the way her words found where I was least guarded, breaking through these walls.Thank you.Those were the words that left her soft-spoken lips.Is what I seek so wrong? Our society would frown upon these feelings of mine, condemn them, no doubt.But like these equations that have always kept me company, what I feel is laid out before me in plain sight as well.Do I dare to step forward to reach for this forbidden fruit?Science has always been about breaking boundaries, demolishing everything to create something new. So I shall pick up this sword and relinquish my soul to the devil.I will see her again. I will talk to her again.I hope.Because this is very likely what they call love.

I already know. I’m the problem.But I could equally say they are the ones at fault.The eyes of the many are like the most corrosive of chemicals upon my skin.No matter how much I try to scrub it off, it already has a lasting mark.Lili… I love her. How could my feelings be wrong? I’m feeling love like anyone else does. Yet when they will speak passages and verses over their love, I have to hide my behind leather and ink. Is my love not equivalent to the one others feel?I’m willing to bet the chemicals within my brain causing this sensation will outmatch any of their flimsy, whimsical declarations of love any day.Yet, the world will never accept me, will it?And yet the wheel has been turned.
