Loves Lives On

We stand here; hand in hand, face to 
face
Preparing to embark into a dark and 
dangerous place
To the land without rain; through the 
fire and the flames
Into a darkness with many, many 
names
Fueled only by our blind bliss
Energy of a lifetime from just one 
single, passionate kiss
The pure rejuvination of hearts 
turned lethargic
A love as easily kindled as a candle's 
wick
It burns with an ember that's vividly 
red
And silence much louder than the 
words unsaid
All those before us have lived and 
are now gone
And yet, and still, love lives on
