i went to bed last night
and i thought of you
it all came in a violent rush
like straightline winds
the picture in my mind of you
grew incredibly immense
it took all of my sight and sound
i could smell you next to me

i couldn't fall asleep
thinking what could have been
i replayed the decsions i've made
in the last six months
the fire had burned so bright
but the fuel ran out so fast
and now i'm left wondering
what did i leave behind

so i thought about you more
then i knew my path
i have to let you go because
i fear the heat and light
of the flame that burned so brightly
would not keep you warm enough
and soon you would be looking
for the heat of someone else

Sometimes the hotter the flame the faster people run from it to avoid getting burned
most people are very comfortable with a nice slow simmering flame that burns in control slow and forever

every time seems to start white hot then quick fade. could be my fault.

Naw not your fault just the way it happens for all at times.

I totally agree with TxsGal3333
it happens to us all

Often times it's hard not to overload someone with love.

Some people call it smothering.

others call it clingy.

Not everyone is comfortable recieveing so much attention.

some actually get annoyed with it. go figure
