Flames

and i've learnt;
time to forget, time to live
time to really see

there was a fire in front of us
glowing so brightly before us
but we just never noticed

that our thoughts interfused; intervined
and we felt the same way

as we let the fire rage on
no longer glowing
just harmful

i have the urge to touch it;
to touch you
it as been so very long
since we have been here;
just the two of us

so im going to smile now
because i deserve to

and im going to walk away
because the flames have already burned me
