I’m moving through the room, just another face, Then you stop, turn around, and you hold my gaze. You don’t look away, don’t pretend you didn’t see, Just a soft little smile aimed straight at me. You tilt your head like it’s nothing at all, Like you don’t feel the tension climbing the walls. Then you mouth “hi,” barely there, barely loud, And every rule I had disappears in the crowd. That’s the second it hits me, sharp and uninvited, A forbidden thought—and I don’t try to fight it. This is forbidden, I know it is, The way your eyes stay locked like this. I shouldn’t want what I want right now, But my body’s already breaking vows. Just one look, just one decision, And suddenly I’m crossing permission— What was forbidden a moment ago Feels like something I already know. You take a step closer, not rushing the space, Like you already read what’s written on my face. You say something simple, I miss half the line, ’Cause the way that you’re looking is messing with time. I feel it move through me, quiet but fast, A feeling I buried that didn’t stay past. It settles in deep, like it’s found where it fits, And I stop pretending I don’t notice it. That’s a forbidden feeling, calm and clear, Not loud, not reckless—just pulling me near. This is forbidden, it’s written all over, The way your attention keeps pulling me closer. I shouldn’t lean in, I shouldn’t stay, But every reason I had fades away. I know better, I still listen, ’Cause wanting you feels like recognition— What was forbidden a moment ago Feels like the truth I was missing before. Your hand brushes mine like it’s nothing at first, But the spark underneath makes it better—and worse. Not an accident, not something small, Just enough to make sure I felt it all. You don’t pull back, and neither do I, There’s a pause in the space where the rules should apply. That’s a forbidden touch, and we both understand, It’s not about skin—it’s the meaning in your hand. Now the air feels heavier every breath, Like we’re standing right on the edge of it. This was forbidden before your name, Before the way your body answered the same. Every line I swore I wouldn’t cross Is starting to feel like a calculated loss. I know exactly what this is, And I don’t pretend that I’m innocent— What was forbidden a moment ago Feels impossible to let it go. I know what this costs, I know what it breaks, I know what I’m risking with every step I take. But this isn’t impulse, this isn’t a slip, This is me knowing and still choosing it. If this is wrong, I don’t feel misled, I feel awake for the first time instead. Call it forbidden, say it’s a sin, Say it’s the moment we shouldn’t be in. But don’t tell me you don’t feel it too When the whole damn world disappears with you. A forbidden want, a forbidden decision, Made wide awake, no supervision— What was forbidden a moment ago Is the only thing I won’t let go. You don’t look away, Neither do I. And nothing about this Feels forbidden now
