you were golden and filled with fire exploding with life you flickered and flared in my washed out, moonless night i was silver and cold and i found myself drawn like a moth to a flame and i thought i would burn. but when our paths brushed and i lingered too close to the sun... you were warm, you were warm (and you would never hurt me)
