Security

Fleeting moments

Watching embers of time flicker

Casting shadows of memories

Impermanent yet fulfilling

As they float into the night

These precious seconds

Spent breathing the same oxygen

We depart stronger than we came together

I no longer feel alone

I need a next time

Where doesn’t matter

Only when

The fire will smoulder

Until your call ignites our passion once more

I know one day

Our fairytale ending

Will break into the pedestrian

Only after the mundane has set in

After the spark dies

When we tend to glowing ashes

Will I know where I belong
