You didn't mean to fall in love, but it happens, quickly, like a change in the weather. One moment you're looking away, and the next, everything has shifted. You are not sure how it happened, only that now there is this — this feeling, this pull, this something. It doesn't ask permission, doesn't wait for you to be ready. You feel it like a weight, but it's not heavy. It's just there, inescapable, like the sun at noon.
