The Unfinished Second

Beneath the ancient arches, stained glass burned across the stone. Something beautiful between us never learned how to be gone. I almost said I loved you. The moment closed too soon. But what remained between us outlived the bells, the walls, the moon. Stay in the unfinished second, where time forgot to choose an end. Let the centuries pass around us — they cannot change what still remains. I would ask for nothing after, nothing lost to be restored. Only what we left unfinished, still alive behind the stone. Roses climbed the chapel walls, colored glass kept turning bright. What we could not give to language became something time could not rewrite. Stay in the unfinished second. Let the centuries move through. What never reached an ending is still becoming true. ✦ TØLGΛ SWØRD ✦ | @tolgasword Lyrics: ©️ 2026 Hanna Kılıç.
