Precious, loving time has passed and shall never return Wishing I could stop the fire that continues to burn Yet I still fall in love with the smoky, hopeful flames The warm sparks embrace my tinted heart and call my name My soul has suffered far too much to get burned once more It has taken seasons for the scars to heal and soar Above everything that made it wail for a long time I would never be theirs, while they would always be mine However, something within the universe has changed When I think of the flames, I feel joy and feel not pain Fate is on my side as well as the stars, sun, and moon I hope these blooming sentiments haven’t come too soon I’ve been dreaming, longing, reaching for this for so long There have been dark moments in which I couldn’t be strong But I have my strength, my passion, my fire once again For you are the flames, the one that will stay til the end.
