On some parts i failed, in some accounts you did
the truth i did not tell and  the secrets you hid

You were there like the rising sun
vanishing in the dark night

I was like the flame
trying to dispel the gloom with all my might

But so was your resolve to keep me out of sight
not letting me venture beyond the drawn line

The days passed and turned into nights
until no further pleasantries were exchanged

The odds  weighed in your favour or mine
only time will tell...

For now we stand poles apart
no semblance of love or longing

No trace of belonging
yet deep in my heart

I still hope....
the flame is alive

You were all i ever had
you are all i ever will
even when you're gone!
