The Warmth of Your Afterglow Lingers
Even when we are apart, I feel you, deep inside of me
Your love is a raging fire, so strong
it leaves an afterglow even when you're gone.
The warmth of your afterglow lingers, heating me to the core
Your essence penetrates me, fills me up through the pores
Even when I'm cold outside, I'm warm inside, because of you
My heart beats in time, counting the days, when we'll be together
but,
No matter how much time passes my love won't grow cold
because our love is a fire, my heart burns with desire,
ignited by the embers that linger, from your afterglow.
