Your Flame
2002
I wonder if you are thinking of me at this moment
Or will this day pass without me in your mind
Who’s sharing the time with you that I can’t
Can they see the light I saw in your eyes
Maybe you found someone who touches you the way that I did
I’m wrestling with these agonizing thoughts
Not knowing how you are makes me crazy
You’re missing from my life and it devastates me
I’m lost in these tears of mine that fall for you
Searching for new ways to hide my wounded eyes behind a smile
Even in a room full of laughter, it’s my aching heart that rises to the surface
When you left, you took part of me with you
But I don’t want it back because it’s worthless without you
Time has lost its purpose now that I can’t count the days till I see you again
Instead I stagger through these hours that come and go without you
Some nights I wake up calling out your name
Reaching out into the darkness to touch you with my love
But all I feel is this emptiness that surrounds me
Life’s precious treasures offer me no consolation
Nothing means anything until I’ve shared it with you
My hope that I hold for you will remain with me forever
Buried in a part of my heart that only you can touch
There will always be a place inside of me that’s yours
Waiting for you to one day return
They say with the passage of time, you’ll slip my mind
But the memory of when we last touched is burned in my heart
When I close my eyes it comes rushing back
I reach around your waist and pull you close
My mouth drifting tenderly across your neck
I hold you in my arms, then I gently lay you down
Your soft hair flowing through my hands
The look of love is pure in your eyes
I can still feel your sweet kiss on my lips
Your flame remains the passion I keep hidden in my soul
