Sparks bursting, my heart pounding – leaping and flickering like the flames. I am on fire and it feels great. Burning up from the inside out and the outside in, shining like a human beacon. Running faster than my heart is beating, just because you are mine.
Late at night and the flames are growing but I’ll ignore them and just keep going. I hope I can keep on glowing, you’re forever on my mind. It started out like a fluttering candle, now I can’t live without you – it’s getting bigger than I can handle but you’re all I want tonight.
Every crackle sounds like your whisper, I want to turn around to kiss you and you know I always miss you - I wish you were by my side. One day can feel eternal but still not long enough, because I know when it’s time to leave you, my love will flare back up.
I hope this blaze is everlasting, tingling in my fingertips, burning right down to my toes. You fill me up so full, so happy, I think I’m ready to explode. So please promise you won’t leave me; that the fire will never die down, I’ve never seen such beauty illuminating the cobwebs of my life before now.
If one day smouldering embers turn to ash beneath my feet, I won’t regret single moment that my swollen heart skipped a beat. So dusty and broken, like a phoenix I’ll emerge, made stronger by every lesson that you taught me to observe.
