Until Next Time

The next time you fall in love
Don't chase the desires
Don't pursue them
Don't pursuade them

For love is a stranger thing


We bruise the lips we had once kissed
We burn the hands we had once held
We rip the letters we had once written
We abandon the streets we had once walked
We scar the memories we had once painted
We estrange the existences we had once craved

We shatter the very lives we had once gathered


The next time you fall in love
Give it time
Some more time, some more of it
Time enough not desire
To grow out of the fondness
To let it all fade away

Desires don't walk away in a moment
Desires don't die overnight

They wilt in your ignorance
They perish to your indifferences
Gradually but eventually, they turn a distant dream
And then one day, it's all gone
Choked into a black hole

Wait for it



The next time you fall in love
Love beyond the desires
Live beyond the love
