Chapter 105 - POEM 105 : If Loving You Is Wrong, I’m Not Fixing It

They say

love should be calm—

but no one warned me

about the chaos

you would bring

so beautifully.

Because you don't enter my life—

you happen to it.

Like a sudden rain

when the sky looked harmless.

Like a heartbeat

that forgets its job

just to stare at you.

And I know—

I know I look at you

like I've already decided something

you haven't even agreed to yet.

But tell me—

How am I supposed to act normal

when you stand that close?

When your voice

lowers just enough

to make everything else irrelevant?

When your smile

feels like an invitation

you pretend you didn't send?

Don't play innocent.

You know exactly

what you're doing.

And honestly—

I love it.

Because I'm not here

for safe love.

I'm here for real love.

The kind that makes me say things

I usually keep hidden.

Like how I want

to hold your face

just to see

if you'll close your eyes

or keep looking at me

like this moment matters too.

Like how I imagine

what it would feel like

if you stopped pretending

and just… stayed.

But listen carefully—

This isn't obsession.

This is choice.

I choose you

even when you confuse me.

I choose you

even when you go quiet.

I choose you

not because you're perfect—

but because you're real

in a way

I can't ignore.

And if loving you

feels a little dangerous—

good.

Because safe love

never made anyone feel alive.

So no—

I'm not fixing this.

I'm not stepping back.

I'm not pretending

this is something small.

You are not small to me.

You are

the kind of feeling

people write about

when they finally stop lying

to themselves.

And I'm done lying.

I want you.

Fully.

Honestly.

Unapologetically.
