Fireflowers

Tell me it's a dream, like back then,

when

covered in sweat, I realized you were right next to me,

I could sigh,

and not believe, I had relief,

from this life,

just hearing you breathe.

and now I look back, to my greed,

when I couldn't read, how your stars aligned,

to the beauty it was, that we'd even meet,

before a park, before a quiet street,

in front of a beautiful field, with your warmth to feel.

How could it be me,

I know I said thank you,

and even then, I begged you'd never leave,

but these fires started with footsteps that lead to me.
