Embers remain
and still I try...

I walk in every other direction
And find myself
drawn to your flames again

And you, even still
In some ways
Are drawn to me
Though you deny it
Vehemently

But I see you...

Your eyes
Your questions
To your own heart
And I know you at least care
about what happens to me

How can I say it?

This is a fire that should not die
