you told me not to fall in love with you once it was too late you could have told me the day before I met you and it would have been too late I knew better feeling something very earthly shatter inside me beneath my bare soul, and from its crumbs I conjure a new one inside my heartbreak safe where i can’t remember a love that had ever occurred and it never occurred to me to believe in love and now when someone tells me not to fall in love with you I remember and I say I don’t know how to do any of that anyway
