Trigger Warning: SA!

All light comes with its shadow-
Candles in the dark, the sun against your lover's skin.

Escape is what one dreams about, but some things one cannot escape-
Sunlight, air and memories, all so inevitable,
But when is inevitable too agonising to endure?
Midnight kisses in the city, the tears you cried in your apartment.

A sweet tea ordered when you were in the restroom-
A sip, two sips, and then a blurry memory of
Your inexplicable cries... it seems like seconds passed when you wake in their bed.

But inexplicable, really? Or an explanation that isn't known-
An explanation to be known,
or known to one only.

The sun against your smiling lover in your memories, and the shadow to your light in their times of want.
