No one expected it would happen.
Or last over three years.
The girl of sunflowers and a tainted past with the girl of naivety and shyness.
No one saw it coming.
And no one saw it end... because it never did.
We paused the game a few times to do our business and grab a drink, but we always played again.
Never left the controller sitting there long enough to collect dust.
Constantly pressing buttons when we returned.
How much life do we have left? What's on the next level?
Can't we defeat the boss this time?
The invisible parasite that has blocked us from being one?
It's a combination of our fears and past experiences.
All packed into one space to destroy us.
But we always sneak behind its back to see each other again.
Sunflower girl... you're scent has dwindled.
It's hard to see the yellow-orange from all the way down here.
But at sunset, I see it... you.
Do you see my lotus skies at sunrise?
Do you even think about me anymore?
The game has been on pause for far too long...
Here kitty, kitty, kitty.
I have a cigarette for you.
It comes with an extra pack of love and affection and flirting.
Light up baby, don't worry about the ashes.
We'll clean those up when we're finished here.
We're not done with the game.
At least... I haven't quit yet.
Have you?
