This eternal flame for you,
flows deeply,
You are the blood in my veins.
The air in my lungs,
You consume me.
For the moment I wake up,
I look into your amber eyes
I know that I am complete.
Even when I think about taking that leap,
You are always there,
Pulling me back in.
Just know that with,
Every setting sun,
Rising moon
I am never far from you
If you remember me,
I do not care if everyone else,
Forgets me.
I wrote this for you in hopes that,
You will remember me,
That this eternal flame,
Will never burn out,
And never be forgotten.
My love for you grows deeply,
From the roots that grow big and strong,
To the wind blowing through the leaves.
You are my everything,
You consume me,
Always and forever.
