Old Flame Flickers

Seeking the world from an old flame
Nothing craves one more than lost love
Searching for that special something
To keep the memories alive

Does he feel it, does she know it
Is it truly there to be found
Love is a rare find nowadays
The pressure to get one is real

One wants to have someone with them
Through the horror that life does bring
And through both gorgeous days as well
Where life shines down on both of them

Finding love is never easy
Especially when it’s on top
One from the past is never gone
When thoughts of their love hold firmly

Russell Sivey
