Like a Flame

"Like a Flame"

Where do I begin?

The long talks,

Ungodly hour chats?

The sweet nothings,

The flirty insults?

A dreamer? Yes.

In my own realm

One of my dreams, perhaps.

But you were real

We happened, or did we?

First the triangle,

Then the square.

Triangle became a square

A wall of impossibility

Came to view

You saw it too?

But the wall of Jericho crumbled

Ours could too

One energy powerful,

Two unstoppable.

You didn't believe, did you?

Star crossed

Saw myself standing alone

You said "what about him?"

I said "what about you?"

About her, I knew nothing.

But I knew,

I saw the impossible.

Yet I kept an eye out

The truth pill,

I refused to swallow.

Waited on the unusual miracle

Could've bowed out,

I slept on myself.

The comet I saw,

I have to unsee.

Your face I need to let fade

Your smiles I must forget

Your touch I won't crave

Your race, my heart will cease to run.

All I wanted to be,

Your peace.

If it brings you peace,

I am at peace.

Stays so, I hope.

No longer will I belong,

Even if I return.
