Heart on Fire

I think about you, still

More than I’d like to admit.

Little moments, memories

Reminded what it used to feel like

When someone made me feel certain.

Like your face, how it changes

When I stare too long into your eyes.

Doting, in my periphery,

When you know it was you, alone,

Who brought me joy.

The way you held your breath

When I took it away from you.

Your delight when I performed successfully

Something new you’d taught me

How you would comfort me

After you knew what you said hurt

Always protecting my heart,

Even from the arrows of your words.

Until the bitter end,

Even when it shattered.

You fill me up,

Bittersweet beauty,

Chivalrous Knight,

Light of my life.
