the cottage on the outskirts of the hillock;
was our cabin in the woods
a safe haven where
we'd always escape to
it wasn't much,
but it was ours;
untouched

it had stone walls with crimson-draped windows,
beige rugs and your aunt's antique sofa
luminant gold flames that'd 
leave behind the ashy scent
of cedar embers
the memory paints itself;
warm and welcoming,
as you'd read east of Eden;
"And now you don't have to be perfect, you can be good"

the cinnamon aroma of the scented candle,
we used to chug up the whole cranberry juice
while having freshly baked pie with caramel;
your presence was a comfort
I haven't found since then
meet me at our safe haven?
I've been waiting since then
