(A/N: dedicated to aidens_tales i loved the last line of a book they used to have, 'cigarettes', it's a quote and then i made a comment and i liked that TOO so yeah! it's like a half me/half them quote!!)

"sometimes love comes at you when you least expect it..."

"...and sometimes it is wonderful and sometimes it burns like hell but you miss it either way when it's gone..."

heartbeat

rushes in the chest

blood rising

in the cheeks,

all consuming fire

burning taller

burning brighter

threatening to wash over.

gentle love

a soft hug,

a kiss on the cheek

words to make them smile

rage, fighting

she sweeps through

burns all in her path

because he tried to contain the fire.

fire does not need water

fire needs someone to match,

to push for their best

when they are too tired

to do it themselves.

someone to light them on fire.

love is different

love is a different kind of fire

love wraps around

not burning,

keeping warm out in the cold.

but love does not need

water either.

it is simply different,

but the same.

don't quench the fire

build it,

the flame of love,

ever burning and eternal,

because it only takes one

to TRULY snuff it out.
