we kiss for the first time again
incense smoke tinged the air
darkness laid heavy between us
for comfort, i told myself i’d never be here again
for comfort, i told myself it’d be worse to return to your arms
but our lips bridged the gap
of an unspoken year
& i brought the curse upon myself
because i could linger here for an eternity
in the limbo of love
paradise is not my destiny, there is no destination
