About this piece
The short piece is about the paradox of company and solitude and feeling wholeness, while we do believe we need in friendship/relationship be inclined to not be lonely or feel the void it's in embracing our solitude and settling in it that we fully find the fulfillment on our own

Of a love left behind.
Exchange cups of tears...
And sadly smile at each other
As the flames link us,
Half to half
