“The Universe Laughed When I Fell in Love”

 

🌙 “The Universe Laughed When I Fell in Love”

A poetic and witty love story about falling, healing, and learning that not every love is meant to last forever — some are meant to make you feel.

They say love makes poets out of ordinary people.
But in my case, love made a stand-up comedian out of a poet.

Because how else do you survive something so tender that it hurts and so funny that you can’t stop smiling?

It all began on an ordinary Tuesday — the kind of day when playlists are on shuffle and destinies are on snooze.
He texted me “Hey” and I swear my neurons threw a party.
I replied “Hi” — but only after rewriting it twelve times like it was Shakespeare auditioning for a rom-com.

“You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.” — Einstein
But you can blame Wi-Fi for delivering the text too soon.

We were a mess — the good kind.
The kind that smells like coffee, feels like 3 AM conversations, and sounds like every Taylor Swift bridge ever written.
I was poetry; he was punchlines.
Together, we were a playlist that never decided whether to make you dance or cry.

Love wasn’t cinematic — it was chaotic.
It was missed calls, overthinking, silly nicknames, and the way he said “calm down” when I was clearly never going to.
He taught me that not every forever has to last forever.
Some just have to last long enough to make you write a blog about it.

There was a moral hiding between our laughter —
That maybe love isn’t supposed to fix you.
Maybe it’s supposed to crack you open so the light gets in.

And when it ended (like all beautiful disasters do), I didn’t cry.
Okay fine, I cried… but in an aesthetic way — under fairy lights, with mascara artfully smudged and Lana Del Rey playing in the background.

Because real love doesn’t always leave you with someone —
Sometimes, it leaves you with yourself.
A little wiser. A little funnier.
And a whole lot more human.

“I have loved and I have lost, but oh, how lucky I am to have felt it at all.”

So here’s to the witty, beautiful, chaotic love stories that don’t end in marriage but in metamorphosis.
To the texts we never sent, the playlists we still can’t delete, and the lessons we didn’t know we needed.

Because the universe laughed when I fell in love —
but maybe it laughed with me
