Burn

I fell in love in 2004, I fell in love Sitting at the bottom of a Utah canyon floor - It wasn't a woman Nor a man, It wasn't with a purpose Or even a plan - I just sat there one hot afternoon, All by myself Lying on my back; all alone - Gazing at the sun Gazing back at me, Not another human soul for miles around... The most incredible feeling; so completely free - I fell forever in love, right then and there With the alluring, beauty of the great Southwest; Now, I'll never get it out of my heart, Be it cursed or divinely blessed - Sometimes it tortures the depths of my soul Not to be there; ... all the demands of life, just aren't fair... But, someday, someway, To my lover I shall return, Then, the passion between me and my beloved desert Will endlessly, and wonderfully, burn and burn... ... and burn - - true love is a fire, hotter than the flames of hell, an affliction that must be embraced, if the pain is to ever be quelled -
