Love’s Flame

I look away to try and find

One more reason to fly and hide

Try to escape I always do

Tried my best to run from you.

Don’t look so close

Don’t feel so deep

Don‘t grab my hand

Heart skipped a bit.

Your gaze enough

I’ve revealed so much

Please look away

I want to stay.

Why would I, when I can see

What one true love can do to me

I take my chance, I’ll take a leap

If it’s with you, my heart to keep.

I ask myself, can I remain

Will my heart be safe, yet feel the flame

Oh love how can I let you go

When my heart tells me I love you so...
