The Fire Burns Ever On

Embracing in a warm and friendly way
My thoughts run rampant with the possibilities
"In time..." I tell myself again;
"In time I shall have this life of joy."
For now, though, I will wait alone
But for the company that I currently keep
And then some day, when the sadness disappears
I hope to have the privilege to begin again with her.
I know that this is a sappy thing;
To hope for such a thing to come
But I feel that there are better things
In this life than what I've known.

Thank you for understanding some
I know that it is confounding
But my heart still pined for the undeserving one
When we started spending time.
And now, with that one gone and gone
My pining has been shifted
To the one whose perfection
In it's variant forms
Is the most sought after of prizes.

So once this time has been spent all right
On the healing and sadness previously neglected
I can honestly say, that on that day
I will dance with the maiden
And be forever gladdened!
