Not letting up always chasing
Hesitant at first then I quickly dropped my guard
Letting him in was my mistake
Knew from the start it was to hot
Thought he could handle the flame
Too much mystery instead of honesty
But the heat persisted and passion was surmounted by none
The mutual craving was intense
Reality crept into the fantasy
I was delighted apparently he was not
But I am not the only one I thought
The distance grew overnight
As fast as the inferno began the flames burned out
Like a shooting star lighting the sky but fading fast
Coals still smolder where there was once a fire
Thoughts of that seemingly perfect match will persist
Another steps in and blankets me with reassurance
His heat warms me and moves me deeply like no other
A revelation occurs
I had right in front of me what I needed all along………
