i think of your peachy lips
and how it gradually moves when you speak about
your weird obsession for video games
as i put the sugar-coated candy on my tongue
it tastes so gentle and pink
just like the cloying flavor of your lips
but the intimacy of it vanished
like i've lost all my taste buds
and your lips didn't feel like home anymore.

maybe it's because i'm not home
maybe if we kiss there
i'll recognize it
maybe i'll recognize the coquettish lips i've always vigorously adored
and thought of but only inside my head
like a broken cd record playing on repeat
but how am i supposed to kiss you
if we barely even talk?

you don't make me feverish for your earthy love anymore
when you walk in the room
the butterflies are calm in my stomach
like they didn't even notice you walked in
but the scintilla fire we have for each other
is still clinging for its dear life
i'm not sure how long its gonna hold
on to the rotting vine poisoning it
but i know it'll fall soon.
