Flame

They call it a flame, 
a burst of energy
When molecules get so excited that they have no other way of expressing their feelings 
So they burst into the sky 
showing the world 
That what they have RIGHT NOW
thats whats right
Just like two people in an effortless love
when you move your hand towards mine 
my nerves shock me
my blood vessles become inflammed 
because im allergic to this feeling
my viens are trying to protect me from the inevitable flame 
but they cant 
because while I was getting ready this morning I put on my special perfume 
reserved only for you
but i was so lost in your words that I forgot that perfume was flammable 
so when you looked at me my nerves started a flame and when I touched your chin
bringing your face inches and inches closer to mine 
Can you feel it?
Can you feel the flame that surrounds us both making it impossible to move 
Baby we are burning
what we have this is fire and god I thought i knew what a flame felt like 
but i’ve never had such a desire for someone before you
you make my lungs forget how to breathe and my capillaries fill with steam
and god how am i supposed to breathe 
how am i supposed to think
when your eyes put me in a trance and 
your hands make me feel like i have another chance
and your heart's rhythm slows my mind down

Shhh the lights darling,
they are out
but we don’t have to stop 
you can still touch my chin 
if you wish
and put your hand on my waist
you can still touch my heart
can you feel the rhythm
and your heart beat
i can feel it 


please
don’t forget me
when your heart rate slows down
because even when the flame goes out
we still have
what we had
