Fire and Ash
he was beautiful
watching him from afar
i knew
we were destined
we met on a dance floor
my hand on his chest
moving slowly
our eyes
pulling us in
he smelled of smoke
and fire
cherry apple
i could not breathe
enough of him in
so gently we fed the heat
letting him find his fire
within me
and it was beautiful
over time,
i couldn't fan
what was no longer there
his fire burned hotter
died quicker
not because he didn't
love me
he was afraid of how much
i loved him
unsure if
he was worthy
watching him from afar
i knew
we were destined
we met on a dance floor
my hand on his chest
moving slowly
our eyes
pulling us in
he smelled of smoke
and fire
cherry apple
i could not breathe
enough of him in
so gently we fed the heat
letting him find his fire
within me
and it was beautiful
over time,
i couldn't fan
what was no longer there
his fire burned hotter
died quicker
not because he didn't
love me
he was afraid of how much
i loved him
unsure if
he was worthy

Out of all my past relationships, he is the only one I still reminisce about

No telling how many beautiful relationships were truncated because one felt they weren't worthy enough; or, were afraid of hurting the other.

Thank you so much Ahavati for your thoughtful comments .. greatly appreciated .. so true .. I'm sure many relationships are truncated for this reason ... sadly
All to well, I get this. I've been the sure one as well as the seemingly unworthy vascilator lamenting the one I let get away. I am one who has faith that lightening does strike twice. The way you describe him and you with him is enthralling. Buenisima!
