Partners 'Til the End

A curious soul gets to ask as much questions as he likes without punishment, though his book isn't selling that much. A bookshop owner can't hoard all of his books to himself forever, he has bills to pay.

Rain pouring down and they rush over under the cover of a canopy, and instead of thinking 'he's on the opposite side but i think i can trust him', it's them looking into each other's eyes thinking 'you were made for me'

No secret meetings or hushed whispers, constantly looking over their shoulders, just carefree dates with ice cream, as much time as they want together until the sun falls down

"You can stay at my place if you like" but instead of "I don't think my side will like that" he just says yes

A kiss. And instead of "I forgive you", he gets to kiss back.

They could be particles of stardust bumping into each other after the Big Bang, nameless and purposeless, somehow deciding they should stick together

Wars and droughts and famine, the chances are unlikely and yet... same or opposite side, it doesn't matter in the grand schemeless of things
