No one can say what it was like (when
we fell in love) before the universe
After the big bang, they say, it inflated
faster than anything ever has
Faster than light
Space ballooned by wild orders of
magnitude, precipitating existence
(your rose petal lips)
It only happened once, this inflation,
then the universe hit its stride
Only once, (when we touch)
but that was all it took for the stars to shine

Playing around quite a bit with parentheses lately, comments on them? A bit of an experimentation inspired by EE Cummings.
