Even though I haven't updated any of my other stories I've made a new one. I'm pathetic, I know.

I never knew the truth that candles could show. I'd always heard that when put in front of a person they could portray hidden emotions and inside feelings.
It took it happening right in front of me for me to understand it. When the person I call my precious person put the candle down in front of me, with a grin on his face, I never dreamed nor hoped about the things I would learn about myself and my feelings that night.
When he spoke my heart hitched, something it had never done before. Adrenaline rushed my veins in such a manner that a battle had never provoked before. I just couldn't understand why the boy in front of me caused me to have such reactions.
When the candle flickered my eyes found his and I learned a lesson that night, my first lesson: I would drown in his eyes if I could.
And when the wax melted so low you thought that the wick would extinguish itself, and the light disappears, I learned my next lesson: I could remember every line, every dimple of his face, even in the dark.
And when the flame grew, in its last moments of existence, when it was nearly as large as the candle it had burned I learned my final and most important lesson of that night.
Our bodies fit perfectly together.
And then the candle became just that once more: a candle. It went unnoticed by either of us, but in the morning we both picked up the candle, it was now nothing more than a twisted puddle of wax, but we put it on the highest shelf in his apartment.
It would stay there for years, never to be lit once more, put treasured just the same.
But it stayed there, it was there to nurture our spark and make into a great roaring flame.
