I lay here beside the crackling fire hearing break on the silence of night and I look around I see the fireflies dancing around in way that remind of you oh so long ago as the fire crackles once more I look in panic toward the night sky seeing the stars that cascade against the ebony backdrop and no matter where I look I keep seeing back to the moments and times where I could light up by the smile or brightened by  sweet nothings again the fire crackles and I look back to the fire and I see the temptation dancing in the blaze more alluring than I could have thought and in that moment when I cry a tear for I thought was true the fire dies out but still leave the embers and the heat to keep me safe  so why did I leave why did carry on when that fire was the best thing I could have had in life
