once upon a time
we had something
something like lightning

see it was way back when
your positives and my negatives
came clashing together
attracting one another

breaking through the commotion
discharging and letting out
energy and intensity and passion

and they say lightning lasts
just for a split second
and i say they're not wrong
one millisecond we were happy
then time's up and gone

cause our love's like lighting
dangerous and frightening
nothing but trouble and tragedy
yet still mesmerizing

now the storm's over
and the skies are clearing
it's all gone along with the thunder
and sparks of lightning

now there's no more dilemma
no more problems no more fuss
but with that there's no more bliss
no more happiness and no more us

see our love's like lightning
unexpected and bright
but lightning,
it never strikes the same place twice.

"I miss you" letters, #3.

"Love is like lightning - unexpected and bright; but lightning never strikes the same place twice." I can't vividly remember all of it, but it came from such a powerful letter I've read a while ago, and I hope I could give credit to the person who'd stuck this in my head for years.
