The cosmos' contribution to love

There is something like cosmic dust
That when stirred, flees into the nebulae
Through the fusion of celestial bodies

A microscopic traveler
Is swept by invisible currents
Until an affinity between beings, gravity
Catches it. You, me, the Earth

Within limits, immutable and clear
And this sensation of falling
Surpasses us along with the dust
With a sudden burst of vertigo

As the dust drifts
A shooting star once invisible appears
A bit of the sky’s dance with the moonlight
And I too fell in love, without realizing

For you And so, through a full night
Conspired by the universe and your eyes

I, utterly ecstatic by the shrinking space
Between my hands and the tips of your fingers
Find myself reflecting on the chance That was finding you

In this vastness of universe that we call home

I love you

Reasons to grow old together Reasons to grow old together

Laura Esteves builds worlds with words, and dismantles the ones that already exist. She writes about what hurts, what transforms and what refuses to be forgotten. She writes about love, identity and the systems that insist on defining us.

She believes literature is the only place where truth doesn't need permission. Her texts are born from the certainty that every story told with courage is an act of freedom; for whoever writes and whoever reads.
