No Longer

As more time passes 
It's like a candle's flame burning 
Except all the wax is melted 
And we're left with a burning wick
And a flame that can only last so long
The candles scent has drifted so far 
And so have you
The fire's glow is starting to dim
And I'm losing sight of the familiar face I knew
It's the sad truth 
There will be nothing left
Everything will burn
It will be dark
You will no longer be the light that guides me
I will try and try again 
To spark up whatever is left 
Needless to say it's impossible 
There's nothing left of us

Accepting the end of a relationship is difficult, but necessary when the flame no longer burns brightly. Very nice, Nadia.
