This is the tale of Iris and Lotus, and their thirty-two years. Together they live on separatea planets, connected across space and time, yet somehow always miles apart. They exist in a deep-rooted state of longing that neither will admit to the other.
Poor Iris.
She has spent a lifetime searching the sky for a glimpse of the ever-changing moon that has always connected her to him. Although she has built a beautiful life for herself, she secretly dreams of one on a different planet—a life where she can be with Lotus, where she can let his love wash over her and keep her in a dream-like state. There, she can forget her reality and reimagine herself anew.
Will she ever stop feeling the intoxication of his love? The addiction that overtakes her when she bites into the inebriating fruit of his presence?
Poor Lotus.
He longs for Iris—his one true love. Her words are a soothing balm and carry a wisdom that connects him to a higher power. He grasps for her rainbow and dreams of the feeling of her lips on his, the familiar taste of her mouth. Although he has built a beautiful life for himself, he is secretly unhappy, and would change so much if he could. For, like Iris, he chose a certain life instead of a certain love.
Will he ever realize that Iris is nothing more than a passing illusion? That beyond her beauty is an ever changing wind that will blow her away and leave him longing to see her again?
Thirty-two years and counting.
She remains moored on the island of his love while the idea of him lives rent-free in the corners of her mind. It is all because they chose a certain life instead of a certain love.
