A love like theirs was never meant to last,
Though there remains a chance for it to reignite.
Much like a fire, their passion burned hot and died fast.
They met on their way to a castle of glass,
And at first, all they did was argue and fight.
A love like theirs was never meant to last.
Rarely did they discuss the past,
Even as they talked late into the night.
Much like a fire, their passion burned hot and died fast.
Their initial impressions of each other were quickly proven wrong and surpassed,
Though neither of them would admit that outright.
A love like theirs was never meant to last.
Then something happened that their love could not outlast,
And their world shattered overnight.
Much like a fire, their passion burned hot and died fast.
The divide between them soon became vast,
And their interactions could barely be considered civil or polite.
A love like theirs was never meant to last,
Much like a fire, their passion burned hot and died fast.
