She saw me
And thought
I was living fire.
I flickered
With the same sparks of orange and red that she did.
"We're too similar. . ," she thought
"If only," she told herself.
She was mistaken, she truly was
Because when she took a step closer
She smiled to herself
Because I wasn't just
A flickering spark
I wasn't even a raging forest fire
I had "the sun for a soul".
And when you're the sun
You have no choice but to burn brighter
If only to catch her attention.
Burning,
Margo
