I've never loved someone before.
Not romantically.
But you seemed to have changed something.
Your touch is warm to my cold heart.
Your embrace makes me feverish.
You lit a fire in me.
But behind it all I carried an extinguisher.
No matter how much I sprayed that flame, it came back.
Each time burning brighter.
I heard you loved someone else.
The flame finally began to burn out.
Why did I try to bring it back so desperately after months of stepping on it?
Well, the flame is still here.
But, it's weakening.
So am I.
Your love was returned but I pushed you away while trying to hold you close.
This fire is burning me, my heart pains when I know we can't be.
I told you to wait for me...
But I'm losing faith in us both.
