Lilac Deppei

Snapshot

Two moths drawn to a flame

Huddled together so close, our hearts may as well have been beating as one

I could close the window, but that would disturb the moment we had found ourselves lost in

So instead, we draw closer, further developing the cocoon

Biting eachothers' sweaters to force ourselves closer to the fire

Until it pops, sparks, fizzles out in an explosion of passion

Butterflies formerly in our stomachs now fading into ash

Just kindling for our bond
