Ashes 2 Love

One can only hope Unless probably depending on the certain circumstance under which the couple split And whether or not you we're in fact the one who left or the one got left And simply are somehow unable to let go That long after the disappointment pain and hurt have settled down afterwards That the initial spark of attraction that ignited their desire to want to go out with each other in the 1st place That in the beginning burnt and raged like an uncontrollable wild bush fire Will also eventually over time die out if it is not stoked and has fresh fuel poured on it And if it is to be dampened irreversibly And the fire does go out it becomes virtually impossible to reignite And it's then all about the clear up and seeing if there is anything left worth salvaging Other than Ashes

A poignant piece Christopher, who wants to salvage ashes unless they're in an urn, sometimes relationships will run there course, go stale or burn out, but if a family unit is in place then a blood/friendship bond can continue, right til death do they part, none of us can take anything for granted except this very second, and there it goes, cheers David
