A forbidden love
Adam was in his late 50s and Jean was younger than him by 27
They both had a lot in common, they saw life as if they were in heaven
They spent most of their time together talking, he felt happy in her presence and she felt safe by his side
Jean had strong feelings for Adam, her affection is something that she did not want to hide
But Adams affection for Jean was not at all of that kind
As time went by, Jean found herself madly in love with Adam, but Adam was not aware of this love
Then came the day when she could no longer bare the pain of love, to Adam she graciously opened her heart
Adam felt her sincere pure love for him, but he asked himself is this love a crime
He knew then that this was not infatuation, but deep feelings flowing from her heart
They both came from a different place of worship, and the difference in age was a start
She made him feel young again, her youth gave him a spark of life
By now Adam was deep under the spell of love, his heart and mind were already in prisoned by her charm
This is when their long bitter struggle began, as their love by their cults was deemed forbidden
