COSMIC ROMANCE

Two lovers found each other 
in the womb of the Cosmos -
In a Universe smaller,
and infinitely younger.

White hot 'Everything' compressed 
into the smallest of places, 
and the smallest of spaces, 
expanding and cooling into 
brilliant sparkling clouds of gas -
The formation of the 
interconnecting galaxies.

These two particles stared 
out across the Cosmos 
at their opposite counterpart... 
They were so very similar, 
and yet so very different 
from one another.

Their entire lives rotated 
in different directions,
and yet they still felt 
as though they were one.

They raced to embrace 
one another, but found 
that their's was a forbidden love - 
One governed and ruled 
by the laws of physics. 

They were forever doomed 
to their individual isolation, 
for as soon as they met each other, 
they annihilated together -

Converging with one another 
into an indescribable energy, 
powerful enough to destroy all that is, 
and all that ever was.

The original Pyramus and Thisbe.  
The original Romeo and Juliet.
A battle on a cosmic scale - 
That of the two lovers,
Matter and Antimatter.
