Consuming Flame

..

My life is one of the greatest

Your was another picture of perfectness

.

Listed as one of the genius in science society

Basking with studies and theories

Yet it just barely a step of my life

A small ripple of the ocean

.

Without glancing, I know you

Another important person of different field

A heir with promised future

.

You seem so distant yet so close

Nice talk and good companion of coffee

Exchanging words

Exchanging looks

Exchanging gestures

For the sake of other's presence

.

When I think nothing better can be happen

Fate has its own plans teaching me about different taste of love

.

In the tip of my tongue

You were sour at first

Before gradually changed

.

It was as good as I can dream

If not far better

And the feeling was mutual

.

I often thought that my heart made of steel

That is until I remember

That flame melting the metal

.

You gave another form of my heart

I gave you chance to reach the degree you never surpass before

.

You shape me the perfect metal that can shine through darkness

I choose you as the only resource of my light

.

You make me so only can respond to your fire

I make you feel the need to mark your territory

.

You make me firmer so we can keep it ourselves,

alternate it as one of world's secret

.

But I tempt to broke the boundaries for world to see,

so only the blind heart couldn't see

.

I succumb in the pleasure from the gentle of your burning fingers

Make me want you more

As soon as we find each other

As long as we managed to lengthen the pleasure

As close as our nuisance skin makes us two

As close as our sense makes us whole

.

I ask, you answer

You need, I give

As simple yet complicated as it always was

.

So I wonder,

Why the best thing is not the good one?

.

I want you still be mine not for share

And you want it to lasting forever

Since we meant for each other nicely

Since nothing can describe us other than flawless

Perhaps, that's the flaw since the beginning

.

Because my life is one of the greatest

And your was another picture of perfectness

Out mighty was our greatest flaw

.

So, why the best thing aren't the right one?

.

I reasoned that I have life

So do you

Instead of throwing it off the window and being happy

I choose what's right for us

.

There are tears

There are agonies

There are loves

So much love that the pleasure only bring pain

Because the last time means goodbye

.

The end of one thing is beginning to other thing

And to start mean to stop

To start live without you mean stop being with you

It's still early to undone the choice

But I know that there's nothing to be undone

.

Even after the time escapes through my fingers

I still love you as much as you love me

If not the same amount, the longing make it more

Though the edges were softer

Once the consuming flame now a gentle glow

Not striking but it was there

.

When the time comes, ready to come alive by single breeze

Only, it was't my decision to lit it

For my soul anchored to you

.

That my life is one of the greatest

While your was another picture of perfectness

May we meet again in other realm as inseparable lover
