Fire At My Fingertips

You’re a whisper on my lips
The taste of my yearning
A feeling on my fingertips 
A side I’m still learning 
I’m out of my habitat 
It’s got me so nervous
My heart still does acrobats 
Whenever you surface 
You linger like rain 
Right after a storm
Your absence is pain
It’s now the new norm
You take me up higher
God hears me pray 
Your love fuels my fire
I can’t stay away 
You’re the beat in my chest
You’re the air that I breathe
I can’t lie I’m obsessed
Cuz you set my heart free
No matter the distance
No matter the time
I’ll fight the resistance
So you’ll always be mine
I can’t let you go
I won’t set you free
It’s time I let you know
The hold you have on me
Cuz you’re a whisper on my lips
The taste of my yearning
A fire at my fingertips 
So let’s keep on burning..

Sounds like a true burning relationship.
