For a person who lets go
with every line
the hardest part is to let go
of your idea

We made love
till even love
blushed
and
had to look away
Flushed: (of a person's skin) red and hot, typically as the result of illness or strong emotion.
"her flushed cheeks"

Maybe age
stresses you to un-stress
and that's the magic formula

Have you ever thought
that a poet's pen
performs
"open heart "surgery
every time
it writes?

"You're getting younger",
my life said as it gazed into my eyes.

"Can I whisper something?",
I smiled, as I marveled back.

My life cupped my face and pulled it closer,
"tell me, gorgeous".

"I am loving myself,"
I sighed.
People call others "hayeti" in my culture when they mean a lot to them, it can be between family members, friends, lovers, and sometimes it is even given randomly as a filler in speech to showcase care.

I am having an affair
with life
cheating on my married
state
which was committed
to ticking the boxes
of social norms
and not a partner
per say
I am not empowering cheating per say, I am shedding light on the fact that the adrenaline that you've always shunned away from might be just what you need to break away from the chains that society has imposed on you, as a man, as a woman, as whoever you are.
Look at the greener grass, keep your ethics, but this poem is merely a simile between swaying towards a life that you've always had a "thing" for, a lust for, and I say go for it, let go, let them, let yourself.
