You tried to burn me down I tried to burn you down Instead of charcoal We became a crackle We tried to burn it down but we lit each other up Our hearts became kindling Melded together, fed the fire Our breaths tried to blow it out Swirling together, stoking the embers We tried to be just a flame We became a bonfire.

The fire not the flame
You tried to burn me down I tried to burn you down Instead of charcoal We became a crackle We tried to burn it down but we lit each other up Our hearts became kindling Melded together, fed the fire Our breaths tried to blow it out Swirling together, stoking the embers We tried to be just a flame We became a bonfire.
My boyfriend is a seasonal wild land firefighter so I can't help but think about/in terms of fires. haha.
