Palindrome | When Forever Unwinds | Cinematic Art-Pop Ballad

You were waiting in the doorway, I was running from the rain, You said, “Funny how a wrong turn Puts you where you ought to be.” I said, “Maybe it was nothing.” You said, “Nothing brought you here.” Then you offered me your jacket, And the whole world disappeared. Stranger into someone, Someone into mine Funny how forever Starts one moment at a time. We went from hello to heaven, From your hand into my hand, From “maybe” into “always,” Like we knew how this would end. We were writing us together, Never reading between the lines. I thought love moved only forward. I didn’t know we were a palindrome. First kiss underneath a streetlight, Last train already gone, Your lipstick on my coffee cup, My records at your home. You learned how I take my coffee, I learned every scar you hid, You said, “Promise you’ll remember How it felt when this began.” Then your key was on my keychain, Then your shoes were by the door, Then “your side” became “our bedroom,” Then we stopped asking what was yours. We said “always” without thinking, We said “never” like we knew, Built a home from little habits Me becoming part of you. Someone into lover, Lover into life Funny how forever Sounds so certain at the time. We went from hello to heaven, From your hand into my hand, From “maybe” into “always,” Like we knew how this would end. We were writing us together, Never reading between the lines. I thought love moved only forward. I didn’t know we were a palindrome. Then one night you said, “Goodbye.” We said “never” like a question. We said “always” like a lie. Then “our bedroom” became “your bedroom.” Then I packed up my side. Then my shoes left by the doorway. Then your key left my keychain. All those little things that made us Turned to little things again. You forgot how I take my coffee. I stopped asking where you’d been. My records left your living room. Your lipstick left my skin. Last kiss underneath a streetlight, First train out at dawn. You said, “Promise you’ll remember.” I said, “I’ve remembered all along.” Lover into someone, Someone into stranger Funny how forever Can unwind one day at a time. We went from heaven back to hello, From my hand out of your hand, From “always” back to “maybe,” Back to things we never planned. We were erasing us together, Reading endings in the lines. I thought heartbreak moved us forward But love can turn and trace the road behind. We were a palindrome. © Aurorian Silver Moon 2026. All rights reserved.
