tonight ill light a candle
that hasnt been lit for a year
a candle that flickered brightly
the last time you were here

shadows danced on the wall
as you and i made love
wrapping my arms around your neck
staring into your face above

our bodies pressed so close
yours molded into mine
the way you touched me so gentle
to new heights together we climbed

ill never forget making love to you
in the middle of the night
the candle flicking throughout it all
the flame it was so bright

then it came time for you to go
and you have never returned
that candle was extinguished
and never again has it burned

maybe like me it also waits for you
to set it aglow from inside
its been so long since ive felt you
but inside me the flame still hides

falling so very deep in love with you
was like playing with the hottest of fires
but no matter how many times i was burned
from the warmth id never tire

i swear it was worth getting burned
and though this candle is no longer new
ill light it again tonight
just to feel the warmth of you
