“Fire in my heart”

 

Does your gal hold you tight and close at night?
Perhaps she fears you may drift out of sight.

​

Her fears are made in the quiet of the night's cool air,
not from mistrust, but a small doubt that lingering there.

​

She may be thinking of times in the turbulent past,
when your love was threatened and might not last.

​

She never asked you for a promise carved in stone,
just quietly thinking, she does not want to be alone.

​

To her you're not just a presence, you've taken roots in her soul,
and you are now part of the fabric that keeps her heart whole.

​

Remembering the laughs and dreams as your love grew,
all the moments good and bad the two of you went through.

​

When she fears what the passage of time will do,
you must reassure her gently and say, "I love you."

​

Not just in memory, but in the now as it stands,
have faith in me my love, your wish is my command,

Remind her that your love is not just a fleeting flame,
but a roaring fire that will always stay the same.

​

Not sorrow or loss, but a strength that you both share,
the fire you started in my heart,

​

will always be there.
