I never loved you
Like the prince in a fairy tale
Or a hero in a novel
Yet my love for you
Have been these burning embers
That stays warm in my heart even now
There were times when you needed me
These embers flared
In flames that touched the skies
And when you felt cold and lonely
They were there to warm your heart
Like they warmed mine
And when you no longer needed me
They remain forever
In the ashes that you left behind
These embers survived
Despite the deluge that I cried
Still warm, still waiting
To become flames
To
touch the sky
