Embers

24. They say opposites attract,

And its true

Because I was water and you were fire

And I couldn’t resist the warmth of you.

Ignoring the fact that the more time I spent with you

The more I disappeared

And you were not a fan of the ghost of me.

Slowly, I condensed back into myself.

Less of myself, but myself nonetheless.

And your embers called out to me once more,

Promising to burn less brightly.

But somehow my return ignited you.

Until I evaporated once more.
