I lit a fire in your heart You lit a fire in mine We would’ve watched these flames grow stronger over-time But we are too clumsy Our hearts are as fragile as oil lanturns That we have both dropped And left burning upon the ground They will say, “The wind put that out” “The rain must’ve gotten to it” “Fire fighters came and shut that down” But what can become of it when your love is left out in the open Exposed to the elements It will only vanish and become smoke White, wispy and disappearing The ghost of what we could’ve had are Carried off into nothing
