Old flames start fires
Clearing the air
I breathed in the smoke

Day after day
Take a deep breath
But I'm starting to choke

The ghosts of my past
Come back to haunt me
But they can do me no harm

In the light of your presence
They dissolve into ash
I'm safe in your arms

I feared like a moth
I'd be drawn once again
To what left me scarred

But you take my hand
Guide me away
And out of the dark

You are my daylight
A delicate golden glow
Pulling me out of an endless night

You are my sunshine
A radiant warmth
Melting away the crippling fright

I used to believe
Whoever lit up your life
Needed to blind you first

I used to believe
For love to warm you
You had to be burned

But with patient words
And an unwavering embrace
I was finally shown

Love is not a fire to be handled
It is a day to be cherished
And at last it is my own
