Fourth

We started like fire, it melted our bodies

Our eyes, lips burned

Our minds swirled with the smoke

We ended up in ashes, scattered to oblivion

We were together but we were free.

The lights went out sooner than we expected

The fire died along with the fantasies

But I had faith and you had courage

In our world, it was all we needed

And uncertainties didn't matter.

We started again like water,

Like blood rushing out of our veins

Smoothly, slowly, painfully.

We became comfortable with the uncomfortable

it's a kind of love we couldn't forget or resist

So we left it all to fate.
