120. We Were A Living Fire

We were a living fire and when we were close we were so bright for all the world to see Held so close we barely breathed (sharing the air in our own space) hearts beating like as one (living as a single creature) minds thinking they were attached (each mirroring the other’s thoughts) souls welded together (until death and then beyond) Hoping the flames would never die praying the warmth would never fade wanting the feeling to last forever dreading the cold of finish Eventually the fire had to die it cannot be immortal even the hottest ones will fail leaving only ash We were a living fire and when we were close we burned too bright now there’s nothing left to see
