the way you make me brave
but yet we're never brave enough
always dancing around the fire
ignited between the two of us
we found three words to replace
the three words we can't yet say
but that embodies the dull ache
that lingers because of our distance
currently content with what we are
though we confide the want of more
the ability to hold and be held
to make new and outshine the old
though our time is nigh
it isn't in the nearest future's nights
so we sit and sigh, lean and lie
waiting for flames to reach new heights
