Stolen glances and hidden desires
in the midnight hour beneath the stars
our two hearts finally met
sharing our scars, embracing our fears
the choices made, to dare to feel
the unexpected, tender touch of love
a fleeting moment of ecstasy
too precious to just be fleeting
for our love burned bright
like a comet in the night
but it faded too soon
some things are meant
to be wild and untamed
to be both the beauty and the pain
now all that remains are the memories
of how we once set each other aflame
