The Flame of Emotion

Some people have an impact on you that will take a lifetime to expel.

For J.A.I.

The Flame of Emotion


As time passes,
the flame
of every emotion
that associates
my heart with you
diminishes.
If only one
of a million
candles per day
extinguishes,
I know that,
at some future moment,
your memory
will be tucked
securely away
behind reality.


*Author's note* This person is so special; at times I felt I was in a fairy tale!
