I have never burned bright
Surrounded by wildfire
I was nothing but a mere hum
Dying embers in the background
You made me laugh
When my iridescent soul was monochrome
You made me feel warm, free
Finally the greys dripped out
Painted all over with every colour
As the heat rose to my cheeks
When you whispered my name
When you held me close
Under the shooting stars
That landed in your eyes
And set your lips alight
Kissing me, the sparks danced
Around us, around
You, the only thing anchoring me to the world,
Ablaze, but not burnt
They say when you fall in love with someone you burst into flames
I didn’t stand a chance
Fire encompasses you and me
We are shooting stars
We are so alive
