Love Fire

I know you feel things aren’t right;

That darkness follows the light…

That day is followed by night

And that true love is out of sight.

But if you’ll agree with me on this;

That I fell in love with you long before our kiss.

That our souls somehow found their counterparts

In the depths of our minds and our hearts.

Then it’s also true that day follows night;

That something feeling wrong can also be right…

That after the darkness comes the brightest light,

And that I can’t get you out of my sight.

Because I see a forever with you;

One I can’t explain but always knew

That somehow here you’d be waiting

While in agony I’d be commiserating…

Wondering why God hadn’t sent you here sooner;

Certainly before I became a boomer.

But the Universe’s magic is clear…

Since it brought you and me here.

So I ask you to let down your guard of fear

And simply let me near.

Just tell me how you need to be loved;

Cared for, kissed and hugged.

And I promise I’ll do my best…

Destiny will take care of the rest.

All I ask in return

Is to let your love fire burn.
